Neuer has no intention of returning to the national team despite Ter Stegen's injury
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has announced that he does not plan to return to the German national team despite the severe injury to fellow German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. The Barcelona keeper has sustained a serious injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the season.
Quote: "I left the national team by my own choice. After his surgery, I sent Marc a voice message. He’s holding up well, considering the circumstances. I fully understand what he's going through after such an injury, and I’m confident that Marc will handle it," said Neuer in an interview with Sky Sport.
Recall: For many years, ter Stegen competed with Neuer for the starting goalkeeper spot in the German national team. After Euro 2024, where Neuer was the first-choice keeper, he announced his decision to retire from international football and focus on his club career.
