Bayern’s Neuer: Injury Update Ahead of Epic Clash with Inter Revealed!

Manuel Neuer, the renowned German goalkeeper, finds himself in a bit of a pickle after suffering a setback with his calf injury sustained during the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen. Despite having resumed running and training, Bayern Munich confirmed through their social channels today that the club's number one will need to take another breather. This raises serious doubts over his availability for the crucial first leg of the quarter-finals against Inter Milan, set for April 8th. In the meantime, Bayern is facing a bit of a crisis with their goalkeeping options. Coach Vincent Kompany has had to rely on the young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig in recent matches—including a loss to Bochum, a draw against Union Berlin, and the return leg against Bayer. However, even Urbig has now encountered injury woes during his time training with the German Under-21s, necessitating his return to Munich. Should Neuer not make a swift recovery, it’s likely that either Daniel Peretz or the more seasoned Sven Ulreich will don the gloves against the Nerazzurri. The official Bayern statement reads: "Manuel Neuer had returned to training for rehabilitation following a calf strain incurred against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. However, he will need to sit out again due to another muscle setback in the calf." As it stands, Neuer is expected to miss two Bundesliga clashes as well—against St. Pauli on March 29th and Augsburg on April 4th—before the pivotal match at Allianz Arena.
