Says goodbye to international play Neuer made two saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout defeat against Paraguay.

Impact Neuer was not challenged much by Paraguay but would be beaten by them once in the first half, then held strong until a penalty shootout. He would then save one penalty, but that was not enough after three misses from Germany, as they exited in the round of 32. He ends his tournament with five goals conceded, five saves and no clean sheets, a bit disappointing for a legend of the game. This will also end the goalie's international career after coming out of retirement for the World Cup, earning 128 international caps while recording 50 clean sheets, even winning the World Cup in net with Germany in 2014.

World Cup Buzz: Mohamed Salah Starting For Egypt After Knockout Round Injury

Allows two against Ecuador Neuer had one save and allowed two goals in Thursday's 2-1 loss versus Ecuador.

Impact Neuer was not at his best form as Germany was beaten by Ecuador on Thursday, with the goalie making only one save while allowing two goals. That said, the legendary German keeper is yet to earn a clean sheet this World Cup, allowing four goals in three games. He will need to do better as they head into the round of 32, set to face either Paraguay, Sweden or Ecuador, none of them being easy tasks.

Beaten once by Cote D'ivoire Neuer recorded one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Neuer was not heavily tested but conceded a close-range strike as his country secured a late comeback victory against their second group-stage opponent. The goalkeeper has made just one save in each of his two contests so far in 2026 World Cup, with the lack of clean sheets leading to a disappointing fantasy output. He's still a solid option ahead of the conclusion of the first stage against Ecuador, though it remains unclear how strong Germany's back line will look given the potential rotations and an injury that could leave them without Nico Schlotterbeck (ankle).

Allows one against Curacao Neuer allowed one goal while making one save in Sunday's 7-1 win over Curacao.

Impact Neuer had a quiet match Sunday as he watched his team control much of the match against Curacao. However, Curacao would carve out a chance against the run of play, finding the back of the net to ruin the clean sheet. This is a questionable sign for Germany, which has struggled to defend in recent World Cups. With Cote d'Ivoire and Ecuador on the horizon, he will need to be at his best to earn a group stage clean sheet.

Starting vs. Curacao Neuer (calf) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Curacao.

Impact As expected, the Bayern Munich goalkeeper will be between the posts for Die Mannschaft's opener in a game where they're overwhelming favorites. Upsets are fairly common in the World Cup, but Neuer should have excellent clean sheet potential in a game where he shouldn't have a ton of work.

Impact Neuer's recovery from the calf issue that had kept him out of Germany's two warm-up fixtures is now complete, with Nagelsmann expressing full confidence in the 40-year-old ahead of what will be his fifth World Cup appearance. The legendary goalkeeper had announced his international retirement last year before reversing his decision, and his return to the squad came after a standout season with Bayern Munich that convinced the coaching staff he remained the right choice between the posts.

Impact Neuer joined the group for the first time on Monday at Germany's base camp in Winston-Salem, completing the full goalkeeping session before taking the decisive step on Tuesday of stepping between the posts for the team's training match. Oliver Baumann had started both warm-up fixtures against Finland and the United States while the federation managed Neuer's calf carefully, but his full reintegration into the group training program effectively confirms his starting role for the tournament opener barring any unforeseen setback.

Won't be option vs. USMNT Neuer (calf) won't play in Saturday's friendly against United States, according to Sky Sports Germany.

Impact Neuer didn't join the other goalkeepers in training one day before the friendly, so the veteran shot-stopper won't suit up for Die Mannschaft's final friendly. This means Alexander Nubel or Oliver Baumann will start in the tune-up match Saturday. Neuer will aim to be fit for Germany's World Cup opener against Curacao on Sunday, June 14.

Impact The veteran goalkeeper trained separately from the group and was unavailable for Germany's first warm-up match, with Oliver Baumann getting the start in his absence. However, Neuer has recently returned to on-field work and appears to be making steady progress in his recovery. While his status for Saturday remains uncertain, he is expected to be fit for Germany's World Cup opener against Curacao and remains the favorite to start in goal.

Impact Neuer had already missed the DFB Pokal final against Stuttgart after being substituted as a precaution during Bayern's win over Koln with a calf issue, and the national team is taking no unnecessary risks with their experienced goalkeeper given the proximity of the tournament. Jonas Urbig is also part of the training group to ensure quality goalkeeping cover during sessions while Neuer builds his fitness, with the plan clearly designed to have him at peak condition for the tournament opener rather than rushing him back prematurely for a friendly fixture.
