Absent team training due to stomach problems

 While Kim Min-jae was away for the Asian Cup in Qatar, Matthais de Ligt also missed team training due to injury.

Bayern Munich announced on its official website on the 3rd (Korean time), "Munich is accelerating preparations for the second half of the season, and De Ligt has taken a break."

This season, Munich suffered from a thin center back squad. Munich recruited Kim Min-jae ahead of this summer's transfer market, but sent Josip Stanisic on loan to Leverkusen and started the season with Dayot Upamecano, De Ligt, and Kim Min-jae.

With the league and the UEFA Champions League (UCL) schedule running concurrently, injuries began to appear in the defensive line. At the beginning of the season, De Ligt was out due to injury, so Upamecano and Kim Min-jae formed the center backs. Later, when Upamecano was injured, De Ligt was rushed back to form the central defense combination.

For this reason, Kim Min-jae, who played the game without any major injuries, revealed physical problems. Kim Min-jae made a crucial mistake that led to a goal in the DFB Pokal Saarbrücken (3rd division) match in the first half of the season, and even in the 4th match against UCL Galatasaray that followed, he seemed to be lagging behind in the speed competition with his opponent.

Coach Thomas Tuchel was also aware of this situation. Coach Tuchel said, "There are players who have played many games like Alphonso Davis and Kim Min-jae. We are in constant communication with them."

Munich was able to use all of its center back resources in December, but faced a crisis again in January when Kim Min-jae left his position to participate in the Asian Cup. Although the Bundesliga has a break for several weeks between the first and second halves, it does not overlap significantly with the Qatar Asian Cup schedule, and if South Korea advances to the finals, Munich will have to play several games without Kim Min-jae.

Then, news came that made the hearts of Munich fans pound. There was news that the team's only specialist center back, De Ligt, did not participate in team training due to an injury. "On Wednesday, Munich will have two training sessions. Meanwhile, De Ligt will have to rest due to a minor stomach issue," the statement said.

Meanwhile, Munich begins the second half of the season with the 17th round of the league against Hoffenheim on the 13th. If De Ligt's injury period lasts longer than expected, Munich will face an unexpected crisis.
