Bayern Munich goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer suffers a partial tendon tear in his right foot and is expected to miss the remaining matches of the year.
Bayern Munich must deal with another absence from their iconic goalkeeper. Manuel Neuer, 40, suffered a partial tendon tear in his right foot during the match against Mainz on Saturday, November 7th, a hard-fought 2-1 victory by the Bavarian club.
The German international goalkeeper, who also served as team captain, had to give up his place at halftime of that match. Initial medical evaluations suggest a prolonged absence for the shot-stopper.
According to reports from several German media outlets, Neuer could miss all of the remaining matches of 2026. This new injury comes in an already difficult context for the goalkeeper, who has experienced several physical setbacks in recent seasons.
Bayern Munich has not yet officially communicated the exact duration of their goalkeeper's unavailability. The Bavarian club will now have to rely on their backup goalkeeper to ensure continuity between the posts for the upcoming fixtures.
This absence represents a major blow for the team managed by Vincent Kompany, who will need to find solutions to maintain their defensive solidity without their iconic goalkeeper.
