Kompany Stated That Neuer Might Need More Time to Recover

In the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Bayer, Bayern was without their main goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. The team's head coach, Vincent Kompany, spoke about the recovery timeline for the legendary goalkeeper.

Details: According to the Belgian manager, Neuer's treatment might extend over a longer period.

Quote:

“I assume Manuel will need time until the international break to recover. But we don't know. It might take longer. We're glad the break is coming up soon. I think it will help us.”

Neuer's position in the upcoming matches will be filled by his backup Jonas Urbig, whom Bayern acquired from Cologne in the summer.

Reminder: Yesterday, it was announced that Bayern has indeed reached an agreement on a new contract with the team's key central midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
