‘After a long break’ Kim Min-jae prepares for the Frankfurt match

9-day expedition Likely to play after two weeks of rest

After about two weeks of rest, Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae of the German professional soccer Bundesliga is set to appear against Frankfurt.

Munich will play the 14th round of the '2023-2024 Bundesliga' against Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany at 11:30 pm (Korean time) on the 9th.

Munich is currently in second place in the league with 10 wins, 2 draws (32 points). This is a game that must be won to tie the score with leader Leverkusen (35 points), who has played one more game.

Munich coach Thomas Tuchel is expected to hire the best. Accordingly, foreign media predicted that Kim Min-jae, Munich's key defensive resource, would start.

German media outlet ‘Kicker’ said, “There is no problem with Kim Min-jae’s physical condition. He added that Kim Min-jae was included in the expected starting lineup, saying, “The team trained well.”

‘Whoscored.com’, a media outlet specializing in statistics, also predicted a central defense combination of Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano at ‘4’ in the 4-2-3-1 formation.

Kim Min-jae took a break after the FC Cologne match (1-0 win) on the 25th of last month. Because he felt hip pain in the match against Cologne, he missed the 5th match (0-0 draw) of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League group stage against Copenhagen (Denmark) at home on the 30th.

He was expected to play in the Union Berlin game on the 2nd, but the game was canceled due to heavy snow, so he had to rest for about two weeks. The Union Berlin game has been postponed to January 25th next year.

Kim Min-jae has been embroiled in controversy over overuse after playing non-stop for Munich and the Korean men's soccer team since the start of this season, but has had time to recharge through this break.
