Bayern Munich's Neuer Faces Injury Doubt Ahead of Leipzig Match

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer may be unavailable for the upcoming match against RB Leipzig due to a foot injury. The 40-year-old missed a recent Champions League draw with Viking and was absent from training on Thursday.

Coach Vincent Kompany indicated that Neuer's condition is being monitored, stating that they would assess how he feels before making a decision. He noted that the injury is specific to Neuer's foot and not other areas like the thigh or shoulder.

Bayern, currently two points behind Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga standings, has options to replace Neuer, including Jonas Urbig, who played against Viking, and Sven Ulreich. Kompany expressed confidence in the team's performance despite recent results, emphasizing their readiness to compete against Leipzig, who are also close in the standings.
