South Korea Criticizes Bayern Munich Over Min-Jae Kim's Injury Management

National coach Myung-Bo Hong accuses the German club of failing to protect the defender, sidelining him during critical World Cup qualifiers.

South Korea's national coach Myung-Bo Hong has publicly criticized Bayern Munich for their handling of Min-Jae Kim's Achilles tendon issues.
Hong claims Bayern ignored warning signs of Kim's injury since last year, failing to implement proper injury prevention measures.
Kim, a key player for both Bayern and South Korea, has been ruled out of two upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Oman and Jordan.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany confirmed Kim will be unavailable for several weeks due to his injury, which has persisted over time.
Kim joined Bayern Munich from SSC Napoli in 2023 for a reported €50 million but has been heavily utilized in matches, raising concerns about overuse.
