“It’s not pressure, but things are looking really good for him!” – Christoph Freund (46) after FC Bayern’s 3-0 win in the Bundesliga against SC Freiburg.
The fans of Manuel Neuer (37/back in full team training) will be very happy to hear these words from the new sports director.
BILD had already reported last week that the Bayern keeper is aiming for a comeback on October 21st in Mainz – ten months after his severe tibia and fibula fracture in a skiing accident.

Bayern’s comeback plan for Manuel Neuer
Friend doesn’t want to be tied down to the away game after the international break just yet! But he hints at a quick comeback…
The sports boss of the German record champions: “We are very positive about that. We’ll see whether it’s the next game or the one after that (October 24th at Galatasaray Istanbul; editor’s note). But we believe it will happen in a timely manner.”
Problem: Now almost all of FC Bayern’s professionals are on an international trip – or they are injured like Raphael Guerreiro (29/torn muscle fiber in the left thigh), Matthijs de Ligt (24/painful bruise of the left knee) and Serge Gnabry (28/ruptured elbow). on the left forearm).
This means: For Thomas Tuchel (50), normal training with his remaining stars such as Neuer and Sven Ulreich (35) and Daniel Peretz (23/Isreal international matches canceled) is not possible.

That’s why Bayern has a comeback plan with Neuer!
Freund reveals: “Manuel will now use the time to do a lot of training – sometimes with the U23s, just so that he can be on the pitch and get into rhythm.”
While his colleagues are also on international trips, Neuer will also complete training with Bayern II in addition to individual sessions with goalkeeping coach Michaelrechner (43). That’s what happened on Monday morning: Neuer entered the training ground on Säbener Straße with Peretz and the U23 at 10:30 a.m.!
The remaining stars (Leon Goretzka, who has now been nominated for the DFB again, and Bouna Sarr) had already trained with the regional league team during the last international break. Neuer had only done development training with the keepers on the sidelines. Until the diffuse pain in his left calf started and he had to accept another setback.

Neuer has now gotten rid of his calf problems. He can also train pain-free again with his right surgical leg. After ten months of rollercoaster rehab (with metal removal from the right fibula at the beginning of August), everything looks like a comeback in Mainz!
The 2014 world champion will not have a dress rehearsal with the amateurs until then. Because: Bayern II’s two regional league games in Aschaffenburg (would have been on Saturday, canceled due to flu and corona wave at the host) and on Friday against Buchbach (October 13th, due to international matches) were postponed.
Now the five-time world goalkeeper should get some match practice in Bayern II training!
