Neuer likely to miss Bayern’s Champions League game with foot problem
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is unlikely to start against Viking Stavanger in the Champions League on Tuesday.
He felt a problem in his foot during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Augsburg, a match in which he made a costly error.
Coach Vincent Kompany said Neuer would not train before the game and that the decision was medical.
Kompany said the injury did not seem serious, but its recovery time was uncertain.
He said it would make no sense to take an unnecessary risk, and that Neuer would probably not start.
Backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig had reportedly been expected to play in Norway anyway.
Bayern will assess Neuer’s condition as they decide whether he can be included in the squad.
