Kim Min-jae has suffered from Achilles tendon problems since mid-to-late last season. Last summer, he was troubled by rumors of a transfer and gave up his main position to Tawa Upamecano at the start of this season. However, the evaluation of Kim Min-jae is changing by showing a strong impression in the last game.

"Considering the situation in which he was benched behind Ta and Upamecano, it is a clear positive sign," Bild said. "Now Kim Min-jae hopes the injury will not break the upward trend."




Other defenders are also preparing to return to Munich. Kim Min-jae was not the only defender who played rehabilitation training. Hiroki Ito and Alfonso Davis also trained.

They have continued their personal training since their injury in March, focusing on strengthening their physical strength, running, short sprints and ball handling training. Their return is expected to be in November unless there are any major disruptions. Until then, Munich had no choice but to rely on Kim Min-jae.
