As it turns out, both Goretzka and Kim were removed for medical issues, but — per Kompany — it was more precautionary than anything (via @iMiaSanMia ): Kompany says Leon Goretzka and Kim Min-jae were subbed off at half time for medical reasons, but it’s nothing serious – just a precaution.
Kim was in the midst of one of his best efforts of the season before leaving the contest, while Goretzka was likely not going to be subbed out at all if not for the issue. For Goretzka, the removal was important because this could be one of the final games for the midfielder in a Bayern Munich kit. The Germany international has been closely linked to AC Milan for a summer move, but there are rumored to be several other interested clubs as well.
