Injury Update: Bayern Munich’s Aleksandar Pavlović, Kim Min-jae in doubt to face FC Magdeburg

Bayern Munich midfielders and defenders Aleksandar Pavlović and Kim Min-jae are emerging as major doubts for the upcoming DFB-Pokal clash against FC Magdeburg. According to a report from Bild, Pavlović is currently dealing with a calf issue, while Kim is managing a knee problem. Although Kim returned to team training on Tuesday afternoon, Bayern's management may avoid risking either player ahead of the weekend fixture.

Bayern faces Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday, making squad rotation and fitness a primary concern. The club has already confirmed three absences for the Magdeburg tie, with Jamal Musiala, Luis Díaz, and Bara Sapoko Ndiaye all officially ruled out due to ongoing injuries.
