Manuel Neuer is not sure he will be able to participate in the match between Bayern Munich and PSG next Tuesday in the Champions League (9 p.m. at the Allianz Arena). The 38-year-old German goalkeeper, injured in the ribs, is doubtful for the reception of Augsburg this Friday in the Bundesliga.
Manuel Neuer, the Bayern Munich goalkeeper, is uncertain to face Augsburg this Friday at the opening of the eleventh day of the Bundesliga (8:30 p.m.), four days before hosting PSG in the Champions League. During the Bavarians’ training which took place on Wednesday on the grounds of Säbener Strasse, the Bayern captain felt “a pang in his ribs”, explained his coach Vincent Kompany this Thursday at a press conference. “It’s still a little early, because we train this afternoon. We hope that he can still start the match tomorrow. We have to wait and see how things go in training.”
Neuer’s backup in Bayern’s goals, Sven Ulreich is also absent, for personal reasons. “We assume that ‘Manu’ will be able to be present. If this is not the case, Daniel Peretz will play tomorrow. We have no doubt, he was very good with the selection”, underlined Kompany. Israeli international (4 caps) since November 2022, Daniel Peretz (24 years old) shone last week in the Nations League against France (0-0) and Belgium (1-0 victory).
Peretz has only played two games since joining Bayern
Arriving at Bayern in the summer of 2023 from Macabi Tel Aviv, Peretz only played one German Cup match and only came on for the last quarter of an hour of the penultimate Bundesliga matchday against Wolfsburg last season. For 106 minutes in total. This season he has not played yet.
After receiving Augsburg on Friday, Bayern will play three matches in seven days against PSG in the Champions League (Tuesday), in Dortmund against Borussia in the league (Saturday, November 30) and against Leverkusen (Tuesday, December 3) in the round of 16. final of the German Cup.
