Victim of a muscular tear with a right right calf by celebrating the goal of his partner Jamal Musiala on Wednesday against Bayer Leverkusen (3-0) in the knockout stages of the Champions League, Manuel Neuer will miss several weeks of competition. “Manu will use the period to the international break to recover. For the moment, we don't know too much … it can go a little faster or it can take a little more time ”said Vincent Kompany at the press conference given on the eve of the Bochum in Bundesliga reception.

With his club, Manuel Neuer (38 years old) will therefore miss C1's return match against Leverkusen (March 11) and the trip to the Union Berlin (March 15) in the league. His return could take place on March 29 for the arrival of FC Sankt Pauli. With the German selection, it is forfeited for the quarter -rounds of the League of Nations against Italy.
