Kim Min-jae (Munich) escaped serious injury.

Bayern Munich defeated VfL Wolfsburg 2-0 in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga in the 2023-2024 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, at 0:30 on the 13th (Korea time).

Bayern Munich, which added three more points, recorded 72 points (23 wins, three draws, and seven losses), beating out VfB Stuttgart (70 points). Munich has already lost the title to Leverkusen, but its pride is at stake in the second place.

Kim started and worked with Dayot Upamecano as a center back. However, Kim suffered an ankle injury after playing 74 minutes and was replaced by Matthijs De Ligt.

On the day, Kim played the game stably. His overly aggressive defense became a problem. In particular, he made two big mistakes in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid, providing a decisive excuse for allowing the goal. Conscious of this, Kim stayed behind and prevented him from penetrating into the back space.

The problem is that the injury happened in an unexpected situation. In the 27th minute of the second half, Upamecano missed the pass. Kim Min-jae ran quickly and got into a physical fight to steal the ball. However, his ankle was crushed by his opponent in the process. Eventually, he couldn't play anymore and was replaced after complaining of pain.

Kim Min-jae performed well with 99% pass success rate (85/86), 100% long pass success rate (2/2), one tackle success rate, two clearances, and 100% ball duel win rate (2/2) . So it's an even more unfortunate injury.

"Kim Min-jae's left foot injury was minor. The injury he suffered in the match against Wolfsburg was not serious," Bild said.

Munich is preparing for the final Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim on the 18th. It is a match that must be won to keep the second place. Fortunately, if Kim Min-jae's injury is not serious, he will be able to play in the final match.
