Manuel Neuer may return to the German men's national team for the 2026 World Cup if Marc-André ter Stegen doesn't regain form post-injury. Initially, Neuer retired due to uncertainty about his future after his contract renewal with Bayern Munich through 2025 reignited his ambitions. Talks with DFB indicated that his spot is still open if needed. Following a trend of experienced players making comebacks, Neuer seeks to emulate Toni Kroos's late-career tournament appearance, potentially as a swan song before concluding his playing career.
"Did you miss me?" Neuer must be relishing this opportunity to get back in the national team and do what Toni Kroos did at EURO 2024.
Manuel Neuer returning to the national team for next year's World Cup is a possible scenario if Marc-André ter Stegen fails to rediscover his best form after his injury.
