Bayern Munich announces Manuel Neuer's injury

It’s an improbable twist of fate. Back at the highest level, Manuel Neuer seemed to find color under the tunic of Bayern Munich. To the point of pushing the Bavarian club to extend it for an additional season. Better yet, after announcing his international retirement in 2024, the 40-year-old goalkeeper must even make his return to the German selection for the World Cup. He was announced in Naggelsmann’s list (unveiled Thursday) to regain his number one position.

But now, this Sunday, Bayern Munich has just announced the injury of its goalkeeper, while the club is celebrating the Bundesliga title. “Muscular problems at Manuel Neuer. Manuel Neuer must take his foot off for the moment due to muscle problems in his left calf. This was revealed by an examination carried out by the FC Bayern medical department. The captain was taken off injured in the 60th minute during the Bundesliga home match against 1. FC Köln on Saturday.” The duration of unavailability is not known at this time.
