Ruled out with persistent foot injury
Neuer (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Freiburg due to persistent tendon irritation in his foot, according to the club.
Analysis: Neuer will miss Sunday's encounter against Freiburg after Bayern Munich confirmed that he continues to experience tendon irritation in his foot. The veteran goalkeeper previously missed consecutive matches against RB Leipzig and Viking Stavanger due to fluid accumulation in the affected area before returning to the starting lineup for Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw against Arsenal. However, he was absent from Saturday's final training session and received treatment at the club's medical facilities, raising concerns about another setback. Bayern have now officially confirmed his absence, indicating that the 40-year-old requires additional recovery time before returning to competitive action. Jonas Urbig is expected to start between the posts against Freiburg, having already deputized during Neuer's recent absence. No definitive timetable has been established for Neuer's return, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain.
Expected to be available against Freiburg
Neuer (foot) should be available for Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Freiburg despite missing Friday's team training session, according to assistant coach Aaron Danks. "Everyone else is available."
Analysis: 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.
