    Manuel Neuer Sidelined for the Year with Rib Injury, Confirms Bayern Coach Vincent Kompany

    December 10, 2024

    Bayern Munich’s veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will be out of action for the rest of 2024 after sustaining a broken rib. The news was confirmed by Bayern’s coach Vincent Kompany during a press conference on Monday, ahead of their Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in Gelsenkirchen.

    The 38-year-old missed Bayern’s Bundesliga victory over Heidenheim last weekend, and his injury adds to an already lengthy list of absentees for the Bavarian giants. Neuer’s setback came during last week’s German Cup loss to Bayer Leverkusen, a match where he was sent off with a straight red card — the first of his illustrious career — after a collision with an opponent.

    The Bundesliga leaders currently sit in 13th place with nine points, one point away from the top eight spots that secure automatic qualification for the last 16.

    Meanwhile, their Ukrainian opponents, Shakhtar, are in 26th place with four points, trailing the playoff places by two points.

    Despite the mounting injury list, Bayern Munich remains focused on finishing the year strong as the winter break approaches. Fans and players alike will be eager for the squad’s return to full strength in January, when Neuer an
