In the most important match that will decide the championship this season, Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) is absent.
Bayern Munich faces Leipzig in the 32nd round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany, at 10:30 p.m. (Korean time) on the 3rd.
With 75 points, Bayern is 8 points ahead of 2nd place Bayer Leverkusen (67 points). If Bayern defeats Leipzig and reaches 78 points, they will secure the Bundesliga title regardless of the outcome of the remaining matches.
If Bayern wins, it will be their 34th Bundesliga title overall. After conceding the title to an undefeated Bayer Leverkusen last season, Bayern seeks to reclaim the trophy after two years. It would also mark Kim Min-jae's first title in Germany since joining Bayern in 2023.
However, Kim Min-jae is absent for the most important match. His name was not on the roster announced by Bayern before the match.
Bayern will start with Jonas Urbig, Joshua Kimmich, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané, Eric Dier, Michael Olise, Sasha Boey, Thomas Müller, Konrad Leimer, Josip Stanisic, and Aleksandar Pavlovic.
Kim Min-jae, who has been struggling with his Achilles tendon, has been left off the roster. Harry Kane, who received a warning in the last match, has also been excluded from the roster due to accumulated warnings.
