Bayern Munich and Manuel Neuer
8 November 2026
Bayern Munich have confirmed that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered a partial tendon tear in his right foot during Saturday’s 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Mainz. The veteran goalkeeper will be unavailable for an unspecified period.
Neuer sustained the injury during the first half and was forced to leave the pitch before the interval. Medical examinations subsequently confirmed the tendon damage. Bayern announced the injury through their official website but did not provide a recovery timetable. The club must now manage its goalkeeping options while protecting its position at the top of the Bundesliga.
