Bundesliga: Goalkeeper Neuer joins Bayern’s long injury list

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is expected to be sidelined following a partial tendon tear in his right foot. The injury occurred during Saturday's 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Mainz, when Neuer was forced to leave the match shortly before half-time.

Ajel English reports that Neuer will be out of action, with suggestions of a two-month absence. The New Straits Times noted that while Bayern did not provide a specific timeframe for his return, the German newspaper Bild reported the captain is expected to be out for approximately two months.

Neuer's injury comes after he recently returned from missing four matches due to the same problem. During the match against Mainz, he became Bayern's oldest-ever player at 40 years and 225 days old.
