Neuer Faces Injury Setback, Doubtful for Key Matches

Bayern Munich's captain and goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has experienced a setback in his recovery from a calf injury, as announced by the club. The injury, initially sustained during a goal celebration in a Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, has forced him to pause training after a recent recurrence. This setback jeopardizes his participation in Bayern's upcoming Bundesliga match against St Pauli on March 29 and the Champions League quarter-finals against Inter Milan in April. Meanwhile, backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig is also injured, leaving Bayern with options like Daniel Peretz and Sven Ulreich. Bayern Munich currently leads the Bundesliga by six points with eight matches remaining in the season. Neuer's condition remains a concern as he works towards returning to full fitness.
