Manuel Neuer
39-Year-Old
Bayern Munich
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 3/18/2026
Out for time being
Neuer suffered a minor calf injury during Friday's clash against Gladbach and is ruled out for the time being, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Neuer was forced off at halftime in Friday's win against Gladbach after suffering another muscle injury in his calf and will be sidelined for the time being. The veteran goalkeeper has been battling recurring calf problems this season and had only just returned Friday from one of them, so the staff will likely take a more cautious approach with his recovery this time around, even though the issue has been labeled minor. Jonas Urbig is expected to take over between the posts until Neuer is back up to full speed.

Could be an option Saturday
Neuer (calf) could be an option for Saturday's Klassiker against Dortmund, coach Vincent Kompany said in the press conference. "With Manuel, things are looking good; we'd thought he might be out longer. But he might train with us today, then we'll have to discuss it again before the game. We'll talk it over with Manu. If not, we'll go with Jonas, he's always deputized for him very well."
