Manuel Neuer is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks, ruling him out for the remainder of 2026.
The Bayern Munich goalkeeper’s latest setback has raised further questions about his future, with retirement at the end of the season now emerging as the most likely outcome.
Neuer, 40, has yet to make a final decision, but his long-term future remains uncertain as he continues to deal with fitness concerns.
As things stand, the summer of 2027 could mark the end of an illustrious career for one of football’s greatest goalkeepers.
