"“I just felt something in my left side, and I'd had a bit of a calf problem there, I just didn't want to take any more risks. That's why I went off. I wasn't afraid of the beer showers,” Neuer said with a laugh (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"For fans, the focus will be on whether or not Neuer will be healthy in time to face VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal finale next weekend. This will be the fourth meeting between the two clubs this season after they faced off in the Franz Beckenbauer-Supercup and twice in Bundesliga play."
"Now, with the cup on the line, Bayern Munich could have put youngster Jonas Urbig on the big stage next weekend if Neuer cannot go."
Manuel Neuer left Bayern Munich’s 5-1 victory over FC Köln after 60 minutes due to a calf problem. He said he felt something on his left side and chose to come off to avoid further risk.

Fans are focused on whether he will be healthy in time for the DFB-Pokal finale against VfB Stuttgart next weekend. This will be the fourth meeting between the clubs this season, following the Franz Beckenbauer-Supercup and two Bundesliga matches. If Neuer cannot play, Bayern could give youngster Jonas Urbig an opportunity in the final.
