"Manuel Neuer suffered a minor muscle tear in his left calf during Bayern's 4-1 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach, as confirmed following a thorough examination by the club's medical department. The club captain and goalkeeper has therefore been ruled out of action."
"Bayern expect Manuel Neuer to be unavailable in the first leg against Atalanta. The captain underwent a scan after last night's game. An official diagnosis is still pending. Jonas Urbig will most likely start in goal on Tuesday."
"It can be argued that it reckless or - at least - irresponsible to allow Neuer to play against Gladbach after already dealing with a calf problem. Now, Bayern Munich will enter the Champions League without its captain."
