Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who had a pleasant break for the first time in two months, is expected to recover from a minor injury and return to the field.

Bayern Munich will have a home game against Union Berlin in the 13th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-24 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany at 11:30 pm (Korean time) on the 2nd.

At a press conference held ahead of the game, coach Thomas Tuchel said that Kim Min-jae was ready to play.

Minjae Kim missed the 5th match of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League (UCL) Group A group match against FC Copenhagen (Denmark) on the 30th of last month.

Minjae Kim suffered a simple hip bruise in the previous league game, and was excluded from the Copenhagen match roster due to this. Midfielder Leon Goretzka took Kim Min-jae's place.

It has been about two months since Kim Min-jae took a break. He started 11 consecutive games for his team, playing the full 90 minutes, starting with the Bundesliga match against Leipzig on October 1. Meanwhile, he was also called up to the Korean national team and played 2 A matches in October and 2 matches of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round.

Fortunately, Minjae Kim appears to have recovered his condition.

Coach Tuchel announced the return of the injured through a press conference. He said, “Eric Maxim Chupo-Moting has been approved for training,” and “Jamal Musiala is also back and Kim Min-jae is also available to play. “The training ground looks full,” he said with a smile.

The German 'kicker' also expected Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae to start as center backs in the expected starting list ahead of the Union Berlin match. Matthijs Dericht, another center back, is still out due to injury.

“There won’t be too many surprises in the starting lineup,” Tuchel said, emphasizing that “we need to turn on the switch and increase the tempo compared to the previous game.”

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is currently in second place in the Bundesliga with 10 wins, 2 draws (32 points), following leader Leverkusen (11 wins, 1 draw, 34 points). To date, both teams are undefeated in 12 games. 카지노사이트
