Back in full team training

Kim (thigh) rejoined Bayern Munich's team training session Monday after being substituted in Saturday's friendly with a left thigh issue, the club announced.

Analysis: Kim's discomfort does not appear to be holding him back on the training pitch, as the South Korean center back was able to work alongside his teammates to start the week. There is no indication at this stage that the issue will keep him out of contention going forward. Kim is expected to continue in full training without restriction as Bayern move forward in their preparations.

Picks up thigh issue

Kim was forced off in the 69th minute of Saturday's friendly against RB Leipzig with a problem affecting his left thigh.

Analysis: Kim suffered a left thigh problem during Saturday's friendly against RB Leipzig and was forced off in the 69th minute, with Hiroki Ito replacing him. He will likely undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue, with more information needed before his availability for the start of the season can be assessed. The injury should not immediately alter Bayern's plans for Kim, who is expected to provide depth behind Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano, although the club will hope the issue does not sideline him for an extended period and deprive them of a valuable backup option.
