"Sky Sports journo Florian Plettenberg reported that Neuer will sit out the first leg against Italian side Atalanta in the Champions League and the match against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, both away matches. The 39-year-old skipper could also miss the return leg for the Atalanta tie and the Union Berlin match so he could maximize the international break to return to full fitness."
"It sucks that Neuer is injured again, and that his time might be done at Bayern, but we all saw this coming when he got injured against Werder Bremen, was said to be out for a while, then suddenly he's back? Again, rushing back players who just got back from injury is such a dumb move."
Manuel Neuer sustained a calf injury during the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach after being declared fit to play. The injury will sideline the 39-year-old goalkeeper for several important matches, including the first leg against Atalanta in the Champions League and the away fixture against Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Neuer may also miss the return leg against Atalanta and the Union Berlin match to allow adequate recovery time during the international break. His expected return date is April 4 against Freiburg. This injury follows a previous injury against Werder Bremen, raising concerns about the decision to rush him back to action.
