It was unclear if Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae would attend training camp for the South Korean national team. Per Yonhap News Agency (via @iMiaSanMia), Kim not only reported to the camp, but was able to complete the training session with South Korea on Tuesday:
Kim Min-jae was able to complete the entire South Korea training session without any problems and should be available for Friday’s friendly against Brazil.
That is good news for Bayern Munich, who seems to be more willing to rotate
a bit more at center-back than last season.
