Oh no…another injury.
As Bayern Munich prepares to face Eintracht Frankfurt, the reality is that the club cold be without center-back Kim Min-jae — barring an extreme emergency.
The South Korean center-back got beat up during Bayern Munich’s Champions League victory over Pafos FC earlier this week and is reportedly more hurt than first though per Tz’s Philipp Kessler (via @iMiaSanMia):
Kim Min-jae is suffering from foot and shoulder pain ahead of tomorrow’s game against Frankfurt. Against Pafos, the defender has not only taken a knock to his foot, but also injured the capsule in his acromioclavicular joint. Kim is unlikely to be involved tomorrow. Bayern don’t want to take any risks with him – but Vincent Kompany wants to have him in the squad at least as an option in the worst-case scenario.
It’s still unclear whether Kim will travel to the South Korean national team next week. The Korean federation has been informed of his renewed physical problems.
With Josip Stanišić out, Bayern Munich is very thin at center-back. Leon Goretzka could be on-call for duty if needed.
After dismantling Pafos FC in the Champions League, Bayern Munich will travel to Eintracht Frankfurt for a key Bundesliga tilt.
Die Adler can be a handful, but the Bavarians are riding high at the moment and could be too much for the offensive strong, but defensively challenged Eintracht Frankfurt squad to handle.
