Manuel Neuer an injury doubt for Bayern Munich’s Arsenal clash
Neuer is an injury doubt for FC Bayern’s UCL clash vs Arsenal
On 13 October 2026, Norway saw Bayern Munich face Viking Stavanger in the Champions League group stage. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer started, and despite being minutes away from a clean sheet, Leipzig's Andrija Maksimović scored a consolation goal in the second-half stoppage time. Neuer has been experiencing a foot problem since a 2-2 draw with Augsburg, marking his second consecutive start for Bayern in goal.
The veteran keeper remains an injury doubt for their upcoming Champions League clash against Arsenal at the Allianz Arena. Originally, Bayern planned to rest Neuer for the Leipzig match, but fresh concerns about his foot issue have emerged. Bayern's sport board member, Max Eberl, expressed uncertainty regarding Neuer's condition for the Arsenal match, highlighting the importance of the upcoming game.
It remains to be seen whether Bayern Munich will start Urbig or Neuer, depending on the goalkeeper's ability to participate in team training sessions ahead of the match.
