(Reuters) - Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae has been dropped from the South Korea squad ahead of their home World Cup qualifiers against Oman and Jordan due to an Achilles tendon injury, the Korean Football Association said on Saturday.
The 28-year-old was named in coach Hong Myung-bo's 28-man squad on Monday but has been cut after developing inflammation in his Achilles tendon. He will also miss Bayern's Bundesliga game at Union Berlin later on Saturday.
