Will Manuel Neuer Play Against Inter in Bayern Munich vs Inter Second Leg in Champions League?
Manuel Neuer has earned his reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the history of football, but the 39-year-old just can’t keep up his stellar performances at the top level anymore, and now injuries are getting the best of him.
Manuel Neuer has missed out on many crucial games for Bayern Munich this season and even missed the first leg against Inter Milan. The biggest question will be if Manuel Neuer will play against Inter tonight.
Neuer has picked up a calf injury and is involved in limited goalkeeper training for the time being, but is surely set to miss the second leg as well against Inter Milan in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Jonas Urbig is likely to start in place of Manuel Neuer in the second leg against Inter.
Will Manuel Neuer play tonight?
Bayern Munich vs Inter was the underrated fixture in the quarter-finals round since the first leg was taking place alongside Real Madrid vs Arsenal during the same time, which garnered more attention due to the shocking 3-0 result in favour of Arsenal. Bayern Munich spent the majority of the match on the back foot against Inter Milan and eventually lost the first leg 2-1 at Allianz Arena.
Bayern have recovered from a disastrous performance in the 2023-2024 campaign, during which they lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen. They are currently in contention to win the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League as well, but have a minute chance to win the latter.
However, this is not Bayern Munich at their full form, this is not the Bayern Munich that effortlessly wins the Bundesliga, thrashing teams whilst also being strong contenders in the UEFA Champions League. This crisis is mainly due to their extensive injury list, consisting of crucial players, namely Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, Dayot Upamecano, and Jamal Musiala.
