German local media are infested with Hong Myung-bo's remarks about Kim Min-jae's injury.
As head coach Hong Myung-bo expressed regret over Kim Min-jae, who was recently eliminated from the national team due to an Achilles tendon injury, several German media, including kickers, are shedding light on Hong's remarks, saying, "What's unfortunate is that Bayern Munich did not protect him from player prevention."
The national team, led by head coach Hong, will play the seventh Group B match against Oman in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Goyang Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 20th. At the same time on the 25th, it will play the eighth game against Jordan at Suwon World Cup Stadium.
If the team wins both games, it will be able to confirm its advance to the World Cup finals early on. Even with the lone lead in Group B, it brought in all major European players including Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae.
However, Kim Min-jae, who has had problems with his Achilles tendon since last year, was unable to accompany him in the end. The Korea Football Association announced on the 15th that "Kim Min-jae finally decided to cancel the call-up as he was judged to need treatment and recovery during the A-match due to left Achilles tendinitis."
Munich also said on its official website, "The club cannot use Kim Min-jae for the time being. Coach Kompany confirmed Kim's Achilles tendon injury. I hope his rehabilitation will not take too long. A few weeks will not be enough," adding, "Kim Min-jae had to cancel his participation in the World Cup qualifiers for the Korean national team."
Germany's Bild said, "No surgery is required. Inflammation will soon recover. He will complete his rehabilitation at Jabener Strasse," but added, "There are still questions about when Kim Min-jae will be able to play again. Important matches are coming up after the A-match break. This includes the first and second matches of the Champions League quarterfinals against Inter Milan and the Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund," adding that he could not afford to return to the team in April.
Coach Hong, who could not use Kim Min-jae in the two consecutive games, which can confirm his advance to the World Cup finals early, expressed regret in an interview after the national team was called up on the 17th.
Coach Hong said, "As you know, Kim Min-jae is a very important player in our team as well as Munich," adding, "What was a little disappointing was that Munich did not protect players to prevent players, so as a result, we had to leave out key players for important games."
"There have been signs of injury risk for Kim Min-jae since last year. We were fully aware of that, and we decided that it would not be appropriate for our team to play with Kim Min-jae in the team right now because it is an important game, so we gave him time to rest boldly," he said.
It was regrettable that Munich's player management, who had already used Kim Min-jae, who had a problem with his Achilles tendon since October last year, did not give him time to rest.
At that time, Munich's defense was not normal because Josip Stanisic and Ito Hiroki were out due to injuries. If Kim Min-jae was excluded, the defense gap would inevitably grow. 온라인카지노
Kim even took painkillers to fill the void. The painkillers' effects, however, are only temporary. Kim had to endure the pain for nearly half a season.
