National defender Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) failed to join Hong Myung-bo due to an Achilles injury.
Bayern Munich said on its website on the 15th (Korea Standard Time), "Kim Min-jae cannot play for the time being due to an Achilles injury," adding, "He will not be able to participate in the second consecutive round of the third qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Asia during the A-match period in March."
"Kim Min-jae will not be able to play for several weeks. I hope his absence will not be too long," Kongpani coach Bang Sang said. "It is important to take good care of him (so that his condition does not deteriorate)."
According to German media, Kim Min-jae will undergo rehabilitation and recovery with the goal of returning to the first and second rounds of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinals against Inter Milan on April 9 and 17.
The Korean national soccer team led by Coach Hong Myung-bo will play its seventh and eighth matches of Group B, the third Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup, against Oman on Tuesday and Jordan on Saturday. Korea, which is leading Group B with four wins and two draws (14 points), can confirm its advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time depending on the results of the two consecutive games.
The national soccer team, which has two important games ahead, will convene on the 17th, but Kim Min-jae, the "hack of defense," will not be able to join due to injury.
Kim Min-jae played full time in the second round of the UCL round of 16 against Leverkusen on the 12th, but he is not in good shape.
