Bayern Munich coach Tuchel has expressed concern about Kim Min-jae's physical condition.

Bayern Munich will play an away match in the 12th round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga at 8:30 p.m. (local time) in Cologne, Germany. It will be the first match in three days for Kim Min-jae following a long road trip after playing the second leg of the 2026 North American Football Confederations Cup Asia Zone 2 qualifier against China in Shenzhen, China, on Sept. 21. Bayern Munich will play the match on a Friday instead of the weekend immediately following the A-match period, raising concerns about the players' physical condition.

"The players are mentally and physically tired," Tuchel told German outlet FCB Insider on Thursday, adding, "Kim Min-jae will wake up from a nap and not know where he is."

Kim was called up to the national team after playing full-time in the 11th round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga against Heidenheim in Munich, Germany, on Nov. 11, and played in the first match of the 2026 North American World Cup Asia Region 2 qualifier against Singapore in Seoul on Nov. 16. The squad then traveled to China for an away match against China on Nov. 21 before returning to Munich to face Cologne on Nov. 24. 카지노

Kim has recently played 14 consecutive full-time games for Bayern Munich and has been a constant presence in the national team's World Cup qualifying campaign. "The constant stress is affecting my physical condition," Kim told FCB Insider, a German publication. I think my body is tired from playing all the matches, but I can't complain because it's the same for everyone. It would be silly to talk about not being able to play. I'm just grateful that I'm not injured."

Bayern Munich coach Tuchel was unhappy with the schedule, which saw the Bavarians travel to Cologne immediately after the A-Match period. The Bavarians will play the game on a Friday instead of a weekend, which means that the players called up to the national team will not be able to get enough rest. "This is an incredible schedule for Bayern Munich," Tuchel said.

The Bavarians have decided to fly the squad to Cologne for the match on the day of the game. German media outlet Bild reported that "Bayern Munich is abandoning the usual procedure for away games of arriving the day before the match. The Bayern Munich squad will arrive in Cologne on the day of the match instead of arriving the day before as usual.
