The former Bayern forward commented: “Manuel Neuer has sustained another injury and we’re incredibly sorry for him. The operation went perfectly, which is the most important thing for now. We and our captain are now looking to the future. Manuel will be back to his previous best and available to us again in January.”
As of now, the German international is confirmed to miss all of his side’s fixtures set till January. On the other hand, though the Bavarians have Sven Ulreich and Christian Früchtl as potential replacements for the 31-year-old, it is yet to be seen who Carlo Ancelotti picks as his side’s saviour.
