"He felt something in his calf. I don't want to speculate, we'll see. Neuer's calf problem has lingered for weeks now, so it was very curious as to why he was returning to play in a match where the Bavarians were a heavy favorite against a toothless Borussia Mönchladbach squad."
"Just last week, Neuer suffered a setback in his attempted return and did not play vs. Borussia Dortmund. The goalkeeper's return seemed very rushed for the Gladbach game. The Bavarians ultimately won 4-1, but the loss of Neuer could prove costly."
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was removed at halftime during the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach and replaced by Jonas Urbig. Manager Vincent Kompany confirmed Neuer felt something in his calf during the match. This calf problem has persisted for weeks, making his return to play questionable given Bayern's heavy favorite status. Neuer had suffered a setback just the previous week and missed the Borussia Dortmund match. His return for the Gladbach game appeared premature, despite Bayern's eventual 4-1 victory. The goalkeeper's ongoing injury could have significant implications for the team moving forward.
