Almost five months following breaking his leg, Germany’s national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer spoke positively regarding the status of his lengthy rehabilitation. The Munich captain, who has been injured since December, is also optimistic regarding the final sprint in FC Bayern’s tight Bundesliga duel with Borussia Dortmund for the championship title.
“We’ve got it back in our own hands now. I’m sure we’ll be champions,” said the 37-year-old. Bayern took over the lead from BVB last Sunday. The champions of the past ten years go into the last four games with a one-point lead over the second-placed team.
“Rehab is going very well”
Neuer suffered a fractured lower leg while ski touring on vacation following the World Championships in December. He now said in a report on the status of his rehabilitation Website of the German record champion: “I’m doing well. I’m happy to come to Säbener Strasse every day and train there. The rehabilitation is going very well, we are satisfied. It’s fun to take a step forward every day.” The last medical images of the leg were also good: “We are all optimistic.”

Neuer can do goalkeeper-specific exercises indoors once more. These worked very well, reported the Bayern captain. He can also “ride a bike once more without any problems and also do most of the strength exercises”. On an anti-gravity treadmill, he can run with a reduced body weight.
Return to the lawn imminent
If everything goes according to plan, he might soon start with individual exercises on the lawn. Neuer wants to be back in goal for FC Bayern next season. The home EM 2024 with the German national team is still a goal for the injured DFB captain.
What Neuer’s recovery means for Yann Sommer is still in the stars. But a season as number 2 will hardly be an option for the Swiss either. Especially since the national goalie also wants to play at the EM in summer 2024.
