Photo: Bayern central defender Kim Min-jae is not seriously injured after the examination and will be able to come back as early as next week

Hupu September 21st German media photo newspaper Bayern Munich team updated Kim Min-jae's injury.

4-1 Hoffenheim's game ended in the 69th minute, and 28-year-old Kim Min-jae was forced to leave the court. The South Korean player suffered a left calf injury and limped away from the court.

People within Bayern are highly concerned about this:

After Josep Stanisic (injured by the median ligament), Kim Min-jae is also at risk of being out of the market for a long time. Neither coach Vincent Kompany (39) nor athletic director Max Eber (51) made no clear and positive updates after the game.

However, what the photo newspaper can reveal is that Kim Min-jae was immediately tested after arriving in Munich on Saturday night and the result was positive!

There were no structural damage to his legs and ligaments. Kim Min-jae is expected to recover in the next few days and may make another appearance as early as Friday's match against Werder Bremen.

For Kim Min-jae personally, it will be particularly difficult to get injured again:

Last season, he suffered from Achilles tendon injuries and never fully recovered. In the summer, he was even considered a potential departure target. But the Korean player stayed, persevered, and is now working hard to return to the team.

Especially when Kompany relies on a rotation lineup, Bayern needs substitutes from various defenses. The team's lineup is thin and the task is heavy. This makes Kim Min-jae's recovery particularly important.
