Manuel Neuer (37) tried to dispel doubts about his performance level at the start of the pre-season at Bayern Munich. “I’m fine. My leg has gotten better, more time has passed,” the captain of the German record champion, who had been injured since December, told the «Münchner Merkur» on Monday.
In a good mood, Neuer drove to Bayern’s training ground on Säbener Strasse, where he and seven other professionals had to undergo the mandatory internal examination before the actual preparation began.
Is Neuer absent from training camp?
The first team training is scheduled for Saturday, after which the training camp at the Tegernsee will take place (until July 20). New could just as easily be missing there as it was on the July 24 Asia tour, Sky had recently reported.
Monday’s tests should provide an indication of the fitness level of the international goalkeeper, who has not played a game since breaking his lower leg at the end of last year.
In addition to Neuer, Serge Gnabry, Matthijs de Ligt and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, among others, were expected to check the recently injured stars. All other professionals will be examined up to and including Thursday, followed by performance diagnostics on Friday.
The future of the Bayern goalkeeper is closely linked to that of Nati goalie Yann Sommer (34). Should Neuer actually return to the team in time, there is a good chance that the Swiss will leave Bayern. However, if there are problems with Neuer, the club could potentially resist a transfer.
