Bayern without Neuer for now
Summarised by MatchPal
Neuer suffered a tendon tear in his right foot during Saturday's win over Mainz and is sidelined until after the new year.
Manuel Neuer has been ruled out with a torn tendon in his right foot, Bayern Munich confirmed. The 40-year-old captain sustained the injury during Saturday's 2-1 away victory against FSV Mainz 05 and was replaced by Jonas Urbig shortly before half-time. Neuer is not expected to return until after the new year.
Urbig, the 23-year-old heir apparent, will get significant playing time during Neuer's absence. The young goalkeeper has already featured this season, including in Bayern's 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund last weekend when Neuer was unavailable due to fitness issues.
