Worries about Neuer: “It happened while cheering!”
Big worries for Manuel Neuer! The Bayern Munich keeper had to be substituted during the 3:0 win in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen. "He injured himself while celebrating," revealed coach Vincent Kompany after the game.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A victory with a bitter aftertaste - FC Bayern gained a huge advantage in the German summit meeting with Leverkusen on the European soccer stage, but lost super keeper Manuel Neuer. The goalkeeper was injured as he tried to run to the team after Jamal Musiala's 2:0.
"It happened while we were celebrating," said coach Vincent Kompany. The Bayern captain had to leave the field injured in his 150th CL match, so Jonas Urbig unexpectedly made his CL debut. Should Neuer be out for longer, Kompany is fully committed to the 21-year-old: "We've always talked about the squad: If it's Urbig, then it's Urbig - we won't worry about it."
"It's something muscular"
Nevertheless, the 38-year-old's absence would be a major setback. There is still no precise diagnosis. "It's something muscular," says Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl. "But I can't say whether it's a torn fiber, a strain or a hardening."
