Manuel Neuer Injury Strikes Bayern: A Setback Before the Final Year Clash

Injury update and upcoming fixtures

Bayern Munich announced this Monday that their veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has suffered an injury.

In a club statement, the Bavarians said Neuer tore the right thigh muscle during the Bundesliga match against Mainz.

The club has not yet announced how long he will be sidelined, but he will definitely miss the season’s final game of the year against Heidenheim.

Bayern Munich travel to Heidenheim on Sunday for a Bundesliga clash as the leaders look to extend their cushion at the top.

The champions sit on 38 points, nine clear of their nearest challengers, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.

Punchline: If Neuer needs a rest, the goalposts won't move themselves—maybe the physio will audit the nets.

Punchline 2: At this rate, Bayern's defense might finally start a crossfit class called 'Save and Serve'.
