Manuel Neuer missed Bayern Munich training sessions due to a lingering calf problem. He will have his calf checked to determine whether he can resume training ahead of the DFB-Pokal final against VfB Stuttgart. The outcome of the tests will also affect his World Cup participation. If Neuer cannot return to practice on Thursday, Bayern Munich plans to start Jonas Urbig in the final. The club intends to avoid a last-minute decision and give Urbig sufficient time to prepare if he is required to play.
"Manuel Neuer did not train with the team yesterday and will not take part in today's session either. Neuer will have his calf checked tomorrow to see if it has recovered. The results will determine whether the captain will resume training tomorrow ahead of Saturday's DFB Pokal final. Neuer's World Cup participation will also depend on the tests. [@BILD]"
"Should Manuel Neuer be unable to resume training tomorrow, Jonas Urbig would start against Stuttgart on Saturday. The club does not want to make it a last-minute call."
