Bayern Munich Faces Potential Goalkeeper Issue Ahead of Bundesliga Clash

Concerns Over Neuer’s Fitness

Bayern Munich may encounter an unforeseen challenge as they prepare for their Bundesliga match this weekend.

Reporters from Sky Sport Germany, alongside journalist Kerry Hau, have indicated that the renowned goalkeeper and team captain may not be available for Saturday’s game against SC Freiburg due to a gastrointestinal illness.

Training Absence

Manuel Neuer was absent from the training session at Säbener Straße. The situation is being closely observed, with a decision on his participation to be made shortly before the match. Should Neuer be unable to play, the responsibilities of guarding the goal will fall to Jonas Urbig.

Additional Player Updates

The potential absence of Neuer is compounded by injury concerns regarding other significant team members: Jamal Musiala is still undergoing rehabilitation, while Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry are focused on their individual training routines.

Positive News for the Squad

On a brighter note, the coaching team has welcomed back several players, including defenders Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies. Colombian winger Luis Díaz, who participated in a match in New York on Tuesday night, has also rejoined the squad.
