Manuel Neuer Suffers Injury Setback
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has suffered a recurrence of a calf strain, casting doubt on his availability for key upcoming matches. The injury occurred during a training session, just weeks after he initially sustained the same injury in a match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Neuer is expected to be sidelined for approximately two weeks, ruling him out of matches against St. Pauli and Augsburg. His participation in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Inter Milan is also in serious doubt.
The German international is now targeting a return for the match against Borussia Dortmund or the second leg against Inter. This setback is a blow for Bayern, as Neuer's experience and leadership are crucial, especially in high-stakes fixtures.
