Kim Min-jae is being abused...日Munich center back Muk-Tu-Soon, metatarsal surgery is out again

Japanese defender Hiroki Ito (Bayern Munich) is on the operating table. Kim Min-jae seems to have to run tirelessly again.
Munich announced on its official website on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that "Ito had undergone metatarsal surgery again. The surgery proceeded today, Tuesday, and ended smoothly," adding, "So Ito needs to rest for the time being and will resume his rehabilitation program as soon as possible."
The metatarsal bone refers to the five bones on the inside of the toe bone.
Ito suffered a metatarsal fracture in a pre-season practice game after moving to Munich in July. At that time, he was on the operating table and could not play for more than three months. He recently returned to the Munich training ground and began personal training, but his injury has been hampered again.
Practically speaking, he will not be able to return within this year. With a huge transfer fee of 23 million euros (34.5 billion won or 34.5 billion won), Ito will not be able to play in one official match for more than six months.
Kim Min-jae is also expected to have a significant impact.
This season, Kim Min-jae is playing the main role with Dayo Upamecano under the coach of Bangsang Kompany Munich. He is constantly playing as a starter, and Eric Dier is reducing the playing time of Kim Min-jae and Upamecano as a substitute resource.
Munich is also playing the German Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League in parallel this season. Moreover, Kim Min-jae has to complete a tight schedule as he has to travel between the Korean national team and Germany.
As Ito returned, he was able to give Kim Min-jae a breath, but in fact, it seems that Kim Min-jae will have to play tirelessly until next year when Ito is expected to return.
Kim started in all Bundesliga and UCL matches that Munich played this season. Munich is leading the league with nine undefeated matches (7 wins and 2 draws). However, the team has shown sluggish performance at UCL with one win and two losses.
Munich will play its fourth UCL phase match against Benfica of Portugal on Sunday. Kim will play an away match against Jean-Cette Pauli in the 10th round of the Bundesliga on Sunday, two days later, before joining the Korean national team. 먹튀검증
