File image of Manuel Neuer.© AFP Bayern Munich goalie and captain Manuel Neuer has suffered a setback in his return from a calf injury, the German club said in a statement on Saturday. Neuer has been out since tearing his calf muscle while celebrating a goal in Bayern’s Champions League last 16 first leg win over Bayer Leverkusen in early March. The 38-year-old had returned to training with the ball in recent days but reinjured the calf muscle in training this weekend. Bayern said Neuer had “a reaction in the calf muscle” and would need to sit out training “in the coming days”. The setback puts Neuer in doubt for Bayern’s Bundesliga home clash with St Pauli on March 29. Bayern play Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals over two legs in April. Neuer’s back-up, 21-year-old Jonas Urbig, did not play with Germany’s U21s during the international break after injuring his foot. The Bavarian giants also have Israel national goalkeeper Daniel Peretz and Sven Ulreich as options in the squad. Bayern are …

Given ‘Absolute Underdogs’ Tag, Bayern Munich Agitated Ahead Of Bayer Leverkusen Champions League Clash

Published by Webster

German giants Bayern Munich are irritated by suggestions they are the outsiders in their high-stakes Champions League last 16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern host Xabi Alonso‘s defending German champions in Munich on Wednesday, with the return leg the following Tuesday in Leverkusen. With resources and history that dwarf anyone else in Germany, Bayern are almost always the favourites when taking on other German teams, regardless of venue or competition. But pundits and bookmakers alike have tipped Leverkusen to make it through to the quarter finals, raising the ire of the Bavarians, particularly with Munich hosting this year’s final. Since appearing in back-to-back finals in 2012 and 2013, Bayern have only once failed to make it past the last 16 stage in 13 seasons — when they lost to Jurgen Klopp’s eventual champions Liverpool. Bayern powerbroker Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who alongside Uli Hoeness grew the club into a European powerhouse, said his team felt slighted and would react. “Everyone has declared Bayer Leverkusen the favourite. I know our team — and it pisses them …

‘Hungry’ Bayern Munich Turn Focus To Lazio After Bayer Leverkusen Humbling

Published by Webster

Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer insisted on Tuesday there is no leadership problem at the club after a stinging defeat by Bayer Leverkusen put their long reign as German champions under threat. Reeling from a 3-0 humiliation at the hands of Leverkusen, Bayern head to Lazio on Wednesday knowing only a deep run in the Champions League will salvage their season. Bayern have won the Bundesliga each of the past 11 years but now trail Leverkusen by five points, and Neuer said it is not just up to the senior players to turn the situation around.  “We have a lot of leaders in our own ranks,” Germany goalkeeper Neuer said on the eve of Bayern’s first leg of their last-16 tie in Italy. “Thomas Mueller wasn’t on the pitch, Joshua Kimmich came on as a substitute and was injured. It’s true that with a well-oiled team and a certain spine to it you can sort things out,” he said.  “But if one of the leaders is missing, like at Bayer, others have to …

Published by Webster

Manuel Neuer, 36, broke his leg in a skiing accident in December.© AFP Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn has acknowledged the challenges of finding a replacement for injured captain and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the winter transfer window. Speaking to German tabloid Bild on Friday ahead of his side’s departure for their winter training program in Qatar, Kahn said timing had complicated the search. Neuer, 36, broke his leg in a skiing accident in December and will miss at least the remainder of the season. “We are discussing various options without hesitation. But replacing Manuel Neuer during the winter break is of course extremely difficult, especially since not many clubs want to give up their number one goalkeeper,” Kahn said. While Kahn said he hoped to see a fully fit Neuer back on the pitch, he acknowledged “football is a short-term business, we have to think about the here and now.” Kahn, who played 429 games for Bayern in a 14-year stint before retiring in 2008, refused to guarantee Neuer would return to the first …
