Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could be sidelined for as long as two months, according to reports emerging on Sunday. The 40-year-old Germany international, who has been a cornerstone of Bayern's defense for over a decade, is dealing with an injury that may keep him off the pitch until early 2027.
The news represents a significant blow for the Bundesliga champions, who rely heavily on Neuer's experience and shot-stopping ability. The club has not yet released an official statement detailing the specific nature of the injury or a precise return timeline.
Neuer, who joined Bayern from Schalke in 2011, has won numerous domestic and international titles including the 2014 FIFA World Cup with Germany. His absence will likely see backup goalkeeper Sven Ulreich or youngster Jonas Urbig step into the starting role during a critical phase of the season.
