Rehabilitation of M. Neuer could take up to six months

Munich's "Bayern" team fans received even more painful news. It turned out that Manuel Neuer may not return in January, as was announced. The goalkeeper may have been out of the lineup for about half a year. The German broke his foot in last season's Champions League match against Madrid's "Real". After suffering the injury, the goalkeeper had to miss the start of the season, but experienced a similar injury in the team's training. This time M. Neuer himself spoke about his problem, and his words did not give much hope of seeing one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the beginning of next year. "The bone has to stay strong and heal on its own. Then the foot itself takes time to heal. It can take up to half a year," Neuer told "FCBayern.tv". It is hoped that the goalkeeper will recover and regain good form before the start of the World Cup, where Germany will defend its title as champions.
