Bayern goalkeeper Neuer’s all-clear: “It’s not serious”

Captain Manuel Neuer fears he won’t get any more rest for the Bundesliga clash with Werder Bremen after being substituted in the Champions League. “I think I’ll be there,” the 38-year-old said after the 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the opening European Premier League game. Bayern play SV Werder Bremen on Saturday.

At the start of the Premier League match against the Croatian champions, Neuer was rushed to the ground minutes after attempting to rescue Bruno Petkovic just outside the goal and received treatment. “It’s nothing serious, just a little thing,” Neuer said.

The fall left his body with static electricity that was no longer good. After that, he hit a few balls and felt something on his thigh, Neuer said. He spoke to the Bayern team doctor during the break.

After the break, Sven Ulreich came on for the long-time national team goalkeeper and faced Petkovic and Takuya Ogiwara early in the second half to make it 2-3. “It was a bit bitter for him,” Neuer said.

Manager Vincent Kompany said after the game that Neuer was unlikely to have suffered a serious injury. “Manu seems to be fine. We didn’t want to take any risks. It was good to make a change,” the Belgian said.
