South Korean media: Kim Min-jae may not be able to represent Bayern in the Club World Cup due to US entry policy issues

May 8th Football media tribuna.com reported that Bayern Munich's South Korean defender Kim Min-jae may not be able to participate in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States from June 15 to July 13th. According to South Korean media reports, the strict entry policy of the United States may hinder Kim Min-jae's participation.

Kim Min-jae is currently suffering from Achilles tendinitis and foot problems. He has been in a recovery period and is expected to return to the arena after the end of the Bundesliga season. However, as Bayern Munich encountered many problems on the defensive end, Kim Min-jae's importance became increasingly prominent. Eric Dell's contract is about to expire and has not been renewed yet, and Ito Yohui is also absent due to injury, which makes Kim Min-jae an indispensable key figure in the club's World Cup.

However, the US entry policy cast a shadow on Kim Min-jae's prospects for participating. South Korean media speculate that the South Korean team will play in Iraq on June 6. Players like Kim Min-jae who have recently traveled to Iraq to participate in the World Cup qualifiers may encounter difficulties in applying for a US visa. Although U.S. authorities usually have strict entry exemptions for elite athletes, given that the club's World Cup is a highly anticipated event, many believe that Kim Min-jae is still likely to eventually obtain an entry permit.

However, the US authorities lack a clear and unified position on entry regulations, which makes it still uncertain whether Kim Min-jae can enter the United States to participate in the competition smoothly. If Kim Min-jae is unable to participate, Bayern Munich's defensive strength will be greatly affected, which will undoubtedly have an adverse impact on the team's performance in the club's World Cup.

Bayern Munich Club hopes that the United States can solve this problem as soon as possible so that Kim Min-jae can participate successfully. The club's goal is to win the club's World Cup this year, and Kim Min-jae's participation is crucial to achieving this goal.
