With Kim Min-jae going down, Bayern can’t afford any more injuries
Kim Min Jae was having an excellent night in the heart of the Bayern defense until he had it cut short due to injury in the 69th. minute. Although Kompany was able to bring on Upamecano to replace Kim, his injury was a serious body blow to the squad. Prior to going off, the 28-year-old South Korean was by far the best defender on the pitch. Following an impressive second-half display against Chelsea on Wednesday, Kim’s performances were now clearly trending in the right direction.
As a result of the injury suffered on Wednesday against Chelsea, Josip Stanisic will be out for the foreseeable future. If Kim is out for several weeks. Bayern Munich find themselves thin in the defense.
