Manuel Neuer and Bayern Munich
9 November 2026
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could miss up to two months after reportedly suffering a partial tendon tear in his right foot. The 40-year-old sustained the injury during Saturday’s 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Mainz, adding another setback to his recent fitness problems.
German newspaper Bild reported the diagnosis and estimated recovery period. The injury adds to an extensive history of absences, with Neuer previously spending a combined 1,222 days sidelined throughout his career. Bayern now face the prospect of several weeks without their experienced captain.
