Bavaria's injury break: South Korea angry about Kim failure!

FC Bayern Munich is in the crossfire of criticism, and that of South Korea's national coach Myung-Bo Hong. The reason for the resentment? The injury of the defense player Min-Jae Kim! The 28-year-old has been struggling with Achilles tendon problems since autumn, and the Munich-based company has apparently failed to protect him sufficiently from further injuries. This now has serious consequences, because the defender is expected to fail for several weeks, as coach Vincent Kompany reports.

Hong complains that "Bayern Munich did not properly protect the player to avoid injuries". He criticized the decision not to keep Kim in the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualification games against Oman and Jordan. "Just because we have important games in front of us, we couldn't keep Min-Jae Kim for these games, because that would run counter to our principles of player protection," said Hong. He emphasized the importance of the defender for the national team and expressed his displeasure that the injury signs of Bavaria were not taken seriously. "Since last year there have been a constant sign that Kim had to struggle with an injury," said Hong. Laola1 reported .

World Cup qualification without a key player

Without Kim, South Korea must now go into the decisive World Cup qualification games. In order to solve the ticket for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico, the team around Superstar Heung-Min Son urgently needs two victories from the upcoming games. The first game against Oman is on March 20, followed by an encounter against Jordan on March 25th. These matches are of enormous importance, and the lack of such a central actor as Kim could significantly reduce the chances of the South Koreans. "Min-Jae Kim is extremely important, not only for Bavaria, but also for our national team", Hong knows only too well. This reports sport sky .
