Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae is set to miss the next “couple of weeks” with an Achilles injury, Vincent Kompany has confirmed. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga game against Union Berlin, the Bayern head coach explained the 28-year-old centre-back was set for a short spell on the sidelines.

In the matches against Bayer Leverkusen, Kim Min-jae played all two games, managing to keep a clean sheet. He was also selected as part of the team of the week for the second leg of the round of 16 by the football statistics site WhoScored.com.

South Korea have dropped Kim Min-jae from their squad from upcoming World Cup 2026 qualifiers because the Bayern Munich defender is suffering from Achilles tendinitis. Bayern announced on Friday that Kim would be sidelined for the time being due to the problems.
