"The 39-year-old goalkeeper started during Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw against Mainz 05 and picked up an injury during the game. Bayern have confirmed today that Neuer has sustained a muscle injury and will miss the final game before the end of the year. The club have confirmed today that the goalkeeper tore a muscle in his right thigh, and he will miss the clash against Heidenheim."
"He will definitely miss the next clash, but it is not clear how long he will be out. In his absence, Jonas Urbig is likely to replace him. Urbig has made two starts in the Bundesliga and is seen as a long-term replacement for Neuer. Christian Falk says that the timing of the injury should not hurt Bayern. The injury does not appear to be serious, and Neuer should be able to use the winter break to regain his full fitness."
Manuel Neuer, 39, started Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw with Mainz 05 and tore a muscle in his right thigh, ruling him out of the next game against Heidenheim. He will miss that clash, though the length of his absence remains unclear. Jonas Urbig is likely to replace him; Urbig has two Bundesliga starts and is viewed as a potential long-term successor. The injury does not appear serious, and Neuer should be able to use the winter break to regain fitness and likely be fit for the Bundesliga restart on January 11 against Wolfsburg. His contract runs until season end and Bayern have not offered an extension.
