Bayern Munich fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief after star defender Kim Min-jae dodged a potentially serious injury. The South Korean center-back was forced off at halftime during the Bavarians' hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg last weekend, sparking immediate concern over his knee condition.
An MRI scan, however, brought nothing but good news. The results came back negative, confirming no structural damage to the knee. Alongside teammate Leon Goretzka—who also exited the match early due to dizziness—Kim is expected to be fully fit for the season's crucial final stretch. According to reports from Tz (via @iMiaSanMia), Kim has "felt significantly better" since the scan, and both players are set to be available for the upcoming Bundesliga clash against Köln and the DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart.
For Goretzka, these final two matches will mark his last appearances with the club, adding an emotional layer to the run-in. Kim's future, meanwhile, remains a topic of speculation. While some reports suggest he could be made available in the transfer market, others indicate the defender is content with his role under manager Vincent Kompany.
Regardless of what the summer holds, having Kim and Goretzka back in the lineup gives Kompany valuable depth and options as Bayern look to finish the season on a high note. For a team chasing silverware, every healthy body counts—and this injury scare has turned into a welcome boost.
