Kim Min-Jae is reportedly a major doubt for Bayern Munich's top spiel clash on Saturday evening with Eintracht Frankfurt.

According to a report from TZMünchen, the South Korean is suffering from both foot and shoulder pain ahead of their trip to the Hessen state.

Against Pafos, the defender has not only taken a knock to his foot, but also injured the capsule in his acromioclavicular joint.

It therefore comes as no surprise that the 28-year-old is unlikely to be involved tomorrow or at least not from the first whistle. 

Bayern don't want to take any risks with him - but Vincent Kompany wants to have him in the squad as an option in the worst-case scenario. 

It's unclear whether Kim will travel home to join his national team next week - the Korean federation has been informed of his renewed physical problems.
