Manuel Neuer: Bayern Munich goalkeeper ruled out for ‘foreseeable future’ with calf injury

Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer has been ruled out “for the foreseeable future” after tearing a muscle in his right calf.

The former Germany goalkeeper, 38, suffered the injury during his side’s Champions League last-16 first leg tie with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.

He was replaced by debutant 21-year-old keeper Jonas Urbig in the 59th minute as Bayern went on to secure a comfortable 3-0 win.

Revealing the extent of the injury, the club said in a statement: “Manuel Neuer suffered a torn muscle fibre in his right calf.

“The diagnosis was confirmed by the FC Bayern medical unit. [He] will therefore be out for the foreseeable future.”

Neuer was making his 150th start in the competition, becoming the fourth player in history to reach the landmark and joining Cristiano Ronaldo (178) Iker Casillas (176) and Lionel Messi (150).

He also became the first player to make 150 Champions League appearances that have all come via starting matches.

Neuer, who has made 554 appearances for Bayern since joining from Schalke in 2011, has played 33 games for the Bundesliga side this season.
