National goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could return to FC Bayern’s goal against Salzburg on Tuesday. The captain of the record champions should make the decision himself.
Manuel Neuer has been back in FC Bayern team training for a good week now. And there are increasing signs that the 35-year-old will be guarding the Munich goal in the important Champions League game against FC Salzburg.

As the “Kicker” reported on Monday, Neuer should be fit to play and be able to make the decision himself whether he will be back between the posts on Tuesday. The coaching team assumes that Neuer “will signal his readiness for action,” they say.
For Neuer it would be the comeback after a good month’s injury break. The world goalkeeper was last in goal on February 5 in the 3-2 win against Leipzig before he had to step down due to his meniscus operation.
The game on Tuesday is essential for Munich. Should the quarter-finals be missed after the difficult 1-1 in the first leg, the criticism of coach Julian Nagelsmann should become louder. Because in the DFB Cup, Munich were eliminated in the second round. And everyone knows that subscription champions in Munich are not satisfied with just winning the championship.
