Manuel Neuer

Looks like he broke his foot and could be out for several months.

Some serious injuries lately at the age of 31. Not easy.

What makes it a little bit itchy is that it is again his left foot.

He broke it the first time somewhen in 2008 when he still played for Schalke. In April he had micro cracks of a bone in his left foot - so he had a surgery to stabilize it. He came back short after that surgery to play the Real match. And in the second match fractured his bone totally but played until the end.

Now it is again micro cracks - he already had surgery - but they probably will not rush it and he is supposed to be back January.
 
Any updates on him? Wasn't he supposed to be back by now?

Ter Stegen should really get the nod for the world cup if Neuer doesn't play this season.

he was still on crotches a month ago. Is currently in rehabilitation training, but could take another month or so. Could be really close, but if he returns about at least 3 months before the WC, then he would be expected to be the #1.

Villa broke his leg. Neuer have a metatarsal fracture.

The latter with a better outlook on a return.

He had two world-class saves today vs Benfica while the score was 0-0. This is the principal difference between him and Stegen (apart from Neuer just being a much better GK) - Stegen concedes the first shot on target and adds confidence to Benfica, diminishing ours, whereas Neuer rises up to the occasion. And I've seen MAtS fold under pressure one too many times.

Neuer is a born winner.
Aside from being the most gifted goalkeeper he has such good mentality he always rises up to the occasion.

I think not even MAtS' family dare compare him to Neuer at this point.

But Neuer is like 35 so with some luck Mats can get one tournament in the German NT

I think Neuer will retire from the national team after the World Cup next year. So Ter Stegen gets Euro 2024 and World Cup 2026 as far as big tournaments go. After that, a new younger GK (Nubel?) will probably take over.

Not sure Neuer ll retire next year, but Nuebel is trash..there is no promising young GK in Germany ATM.
