Just before the landmark Leverkusen game, FC Bayern’s Manuel Neuer is missing from training. But the club has a plan for the goalkeeper.
FC Bayern Munich started the training week on Tuesday without regular goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. A few days before the guest game at Bayer Leverkusen, which could be decisive in the championship, the keeper was plagued by knee problems. Neuer was also missing from training on Wednesday.
The “Kicker” now reports in its latest issue that the national goalkeeper will also miss the practice sessions on Thursday. In all likelihood, Neuer is not questionable for the Leverkusen game. It is said that Neuer should train with the team again on Friday.
Staffing levels are relaxing: Kimmich is also back
Overall, the staffing level at Munich has eased considerably. Min-jae Kim is available on defense again after his return from the Asian Championships. Dayot Upamecano trained again on Wednesday. Together with Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt, Tuchel has four central defenders at his disposal.
The situation with Joshua Kimmich is still unclear. Like Upamecano, the six-man returned to team training on Wednesday, but his injured shoulder is still causing pain. Kimmich definitely wants to be there against Leverkusen, writes the “Kicker”. The chances of this happening are good.
