Fresh injury concerns set to sideline Bayern Munich's Kim Min-Jae through Club World Cup
Sport Bild reports that fresh injury concerns will cause Bayern Munich central defender Kim Min-Jae to miss the coming club World Cup. According to the tabloid, the Bundesliga professional is struggling with both inflammation in his left Achilles tendon and a fluid filled cyst in his foot. The report claims that a return for the South Korean centre-back is not planned until mid-to-late July. Bayern are known to be considering selling Kim this summer, meaning that it could be the case that the 28-year-old has indeed played his last game for the German record champions. A separate Sport Bild report provides an update on Kim's Bayern central defensive colleague. Dayot Upemecano is back on the training pitch following his knee surgery, yet still taking it slowly. Advertisement Upamecano completed dribbling exercises through small cones, long passes, runs on the running ladder, and even longer sprints. However, during training, he signaled slight discomfort in his right groin. The problems were not serious enough to force Upamecano to stop training. The nature of Upamecano's injury still doesn't render it likely that he'll be ready for playing time until the end of June. GGFN | Peter Weis

Bayern Munich could be forced to sell Dayot Upamecano
Bayern Munich could be forced to sell Dayot Upamecano (26) during the summer transfer window, according to a report from Foot Mercato. Upamecano's contract situation with the Bavarian club is precarious. His current deal runs until the summer of 2026 and whilst there have been talks over a renewal, they have reached a dead end. The Frenchman, therefore, goes into the summer transfer window with just one year remaining on his deal. PSG not interested in Upamecano signing Bayern Munich are determined not to lose the player on a free transfer, and with no signs of a renewal, it could incite the Bundesliga giants to sell the player at the end of the season. Despite links to Paris Saint-Germain, Foot Mercato understands that the Ligue 1 champions currently have no intention of signing the France international, despite being in the market for a centre-back. PSG are preparing for the possibility of Marquinhos departing but Upamecano is not part of any succession planning. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Bayern Munich threaten legal action against Canada after Alphonso Davies suffers season-ending injury
Bayern Munich has threatened legal action against Canada after Alphonso Davies suffered a serious knee injury while on international duty. Davies tore a ligament in his right knee as Canada beat the United States 2-1 to seal a third-place finish in the CONCACAF Nations League. The left-back has since returned to Germany to undergo surgery and will be out of action for several months - a hammer blow to Bayern 's season as their mounting injury crisis worsens. However, the Bavarian giants are now alleging that the Canada setup did not provide appropriate care for the player. "We're demanding a full investigation into the events from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action," Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen told Bild. "Sending a clearly injured player with a damaged knee on a 12-hour intercontinental flight without a thorough medical assessment is, in our view, grossly negligent and a clear breach of medical duty of care' Bayern also believe that Davies should not have been playing at all due to pre-existing fitness problems, with Canada putting the 24-year-old at unnecessary risk of derailing his recovery. "The participation of Davies, who already had muscular problems before the game, in a match of no sporting significance is incomprehensible from our point our view," Dreesen added. This was the view echoed by Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund, who blasted Canada for their negligence. Freud said: "Phonzy complained of fatigue. He's the team captain, a young lad who wants to help his country. Then there's this injury. I think it's negligent, unprofessional." Davies was not the only Bayern casualty of the international break, with Dayot Upamecano also returning from Nations League duty with a knee injury, albeit a less serious one. Upamecano went through the ringer with France, playing the entirety of their quarter-final return leg against Croatia on Sunday, including extra time, in which he scored the winning penalty in the shootout. After racking up a 128-minute appearance under his belt, Upamecano joins Davies on the treatment table upon his return to Bavaria. This puts extra strain on Vincent Kompany 's defensive options, with South Korean centre-back Kim Min-jae already out with an Achilles issue. Bayern face a nervy end to the campaign as they look to preserve their position at the top of the Bundesliga over the next eight games. But after a dip in form saw their 12 point advantage over chasing Bayer Leverkusen drop to six, a fresh injury crisis at the back is the last thing Kompany needs as Bayern look to reclaim the Meisterschale this term.
