Veteran Neuer joins Bayern's long injury list
Veteran Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is set for a spell on the sidelines with a foot injury, compounding the German champions' absentee woes. The German champions are already without coach Vincent Kompany who is recovering from an illness, while Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz, Ismael Saibari and Serge Gnabry are also long-term absentees.
Bayern Munich veteran Manuel Neuer has joined the club's lengthy injury list due to a foot injury. The German champion's goalkeeper was forced to leave the game against Mainz just before halftime with a torn tendon in his right foot. Bayern Munich released a statement on Sunday confirming Neuer's absence will be indefinite, though German media sources suggest he might be sidelined for at least two months.
Neuer, who played his 550th Bundesliga match at the age of 40, acknowledged the setback in a social media post, stating he would focus on recovery. Despite Neuer's injury, Bayern remains well-stocked with goalkeepers, as second-choice Jonas Urbig is part of Jurgen Klopp's Germany squad. Neuer, a twice-time Champions League winner, is expected to miss his fifth match this season, potentially marking the end of his career.
