Suffers partial tendon tear Neuer has been ruled out for the time being after suffering a partial tear of a tendon in his right foot during Saturday's 2-1 Bundesliga win over Mainz, according to the club.

Impact Neuer was forced off before halftime against Mainz after experiencing renewed discomfort in his right foot, with subsequent examinations confirming a partial tendon tear. The goalkeeper had already missed five matches earlier this season due to tendon irritation in the same foot, making this latest setback particularly concerning. No specific recovery timeline has been provided, leaving his availability following the international break uncertain. Jonas Urbig is expected to take over starting duties in goal during Neuer's absence.

Impact Neuer was forced off before halftime against Mainz after experiencing pain in his right foot while jumping during a set-piece situation. The goalkeeper recently missed five matches with a similar issue, previously described as irritation and fluid accumulation around a tendon beneath his foot. Further examinations will determine the severity of the latest setback and whether he faces another extended absence. Jonas Urbig is expected to take over in goal if Neuer remains sidelined following the international break.

Forced off with foot issue Neuer was forced off with a right foot injury just before halftime of Saturday's Bundesliga match at Mainz and was replaced by Jonas Urbig.

Impact Neuer was forced off before halftime in Mainz after treatment on his right foot, in only his second appearance since returning from a foot injury that sidelined him for the last three league matches, which raises concern that the problem has resurfaced. Bayern will assess him over the international break, and Jonas Urbig, who started the three matches Neuer missed, is the obvious replacement if he is ruled out again.

Impact Neuer trained Monday and continues to make encouraging progress after missing Saturday's 2-2 draw against Dortmund . While a final call on his status will be made Tuesday, Monday's signs are good enough to think Neuer should recover his starting role if he gets the green light before a late fitness test Tuesday. That would send Jonas Urbig to the bench.

Impact Neuer is making encouraging progress after missing Saturday's 2-2 Bundesliga draw against Dortmund due to a foot injury. The veteran goalkeeper had previously expressed optimism about recovering in time for Tuesday's European fixture, and his return to collective training represents a positive step toward that goal. However, Bayern's medical staff will evaluate his foot again before determining whether he is fit enough to reclaim his starting role, leaving his participation uncertain heading into the match. Jonas Urbig, who deputized against Dortmund, has recovered well from the head knock he sustained during that encounter and is ready to start again if Neuer is unable to feature.

Could return for Atletico game Neuer (foot) said he hopes to be fit in time for Bayern Munich's match against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, according to Kerry Hau of Sky Sport Germany.

Impact Neuer didn't play in the 2-2 draw against Dortmund on Saturday, and while the veteran goalkeeper remains sidelined for now, it seems he intends to return to action in the UCL next week. Bayern's goalkeeping situation will remain one to monitor ahead of that match, and if Neuer has to miss another game, Jonas Urbig would get the nod again.

Impact Neuer has yet to overcome the recurring foot issue that has disrupted his availability in recent weeks, forcing him to miss another important fixture. The veteran goalkeeper previously returned for the Champions League encounter against Arsenal but subsequently experienced renewed discomfort, keeping him out of the Bundesliga clash against Freiburg and Wednesday's DFB-Pokal victory over Magdeburg. With the 40-year-old still experiencing pain, Bayern are unlikely to rush his recovery, and no definitive return date has been established. Jonas Urbig will continue starting between the posts against Dortmund while Neuer works toward regaining full fitness.

Impact Neuer continues to struggle with a recurring foot issue that has disrupted his availability in recent weeks, with Bayern Munich taking a cautious approach to his recovery. The veteran goalkeeper previously missed consecutive matches against RB Leipzig and Viking due to fluid accumulation in the affected area before returning for Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal. However, he subsequently experienced renewed discomfort and was ruled out of Sunday's Bundesliga encounter against Freiburg. Assistant coach Danks indicated that Neuer is not yet ready to return, with further discussions involving the medical staff required before determining his availability for upcoming fixtures. Wednesday's cup clash against Magdeburg appears to come too soon for the 40-year-old, while Saturday's Bundesliga showdown against Dortmund remains a potential return date depending on his recovery progress. Jonas Urbig should continue deputizing between the posts until Neuer receives medical clearance.

Impact Neuer is facing renewed uncertainty over his availability after experiencing another potential setback related to the foot issue that has troubled him recently. The veteran goalkeeper previously missed consecutive matches against RB Leipzig and Viking due to fluid accumulation in his foot before returning to the starting lineup for Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal. Although assistant coach Aaron Danks did not identify Neuer as an absentee during Friday's press conference, the 40-year-old was unexpectedly missing from Saturday's final training session and was subsequently spotted receiving treatment at the club's medical center. His involvement against Freiburg is now considered unlikely, suggesting he may need additional recovery time before returning to competitive action. Jonas Urbig would be expected to start between the posts if Neuer is unavailable, having already deputized during his recent absence.

Impact Neuer appears set to retain his starting role against Freiburg after concerns emerged regarding his fitness following Friday's absence from team training. The veteran goalkeeper worked individually at Bayern Munich's training facilities and received treatment, raising questions about whether he was experiencing renewed discomfort in his foot. Neuer had previously missed two consecutive matches due to fluid accumulation in the affected area before returning for Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal. However, assistant coach Danks' latest comments suggest that the goalkeeper is available for selection, indicating that Friday's individual session was likely a precautionary measure rather than evidence of a significant setback. Neuer should therefore be in contention to start Sunday's encounter, with Jonas Urbig remaining available as an alternative if the coaching staff decides to manage his workload.

Impact Neuer missed Friday's team training after returning to action in Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal, having previously missed two matches due to fluid accumulation in his foot. It remains unclear whether his latest absence is related to renewed discomfort or simply a precautionary measure to manage his workload. The veteran goalkeeper's status for Sunday's trip to Freiburg is therefore uncertain, although he still has time to recover ahead of the match. If Neuer is unable to feature, Jonas Urbig could step in between the posts.

Impact Neuer seems to be trending in the right direction, but a final call on the goalkeeper's status hasn't been made yet. Based on Danks' words, it seems Neuer will be a true game-time call Wednesday, with a call likely being made after the final training session. If Neuer doesn't start, Jonas Urbig, who replaced him in the last two matches, should get the nod again.

Back in training ahead of Arsenal clash Neuer (foot) returned to full team training Monday ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, according to Kerry Hau of Sky Sport Germany.

Impact Neuer has taken an important step toward returning after missing Bayern Munich's last two competitive matches due to a foot problem that had prevented him from training with the squad. Although the German goalkeeper is back in team training, his participation against Arsenal remains uncertain, with a final decision dependent on his recovery over the coming days. Jonas Urbig, who has deputized in the last two matches, would retain his place in goal if Neuer is not cleared to return Wednesday.

Impact Neuer was excluded from the weekend's match against Leipzig, which came too soon for him to overcome his injury. Such situation gave Jonas Urbig a rare chance to make consecutive starts in goal, although the team conceded four goals in that span. The experienced shot-stopper is hopeful to see action in the short term, but his full recovery is not confirmed yet.

Ruled out against Leipzig Neuer (foot) is unavailable for Saturday's match against RB Leipzig, with Jonas Urbig starting in goal.

Impact Neuer misses another match after foot discomfort ruled him out of Wednesday's Champions League draw against Viking Stavanger. He trained individually Thursday before missing the final session, and his continued absence leaves Urbig in line to retain the starting role against Leipzig.
