Bayern’s Neuer Doubtful for PSG Clash After Rib Injury Concerns

Bayern Munich faces potential setback as key player gets injured ahead of PSG clash

Bayern Munich finds itself in a challenging situation following the international break. The German club might be without their veteran goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, for the upcoming matches. Neuer, who is crucial for Bayern’s defense, experienced discomfort described as a “twinge in the ribs”, shared by his coach, Vincent Kompany, during a press briefing on Thursday. While there’s hope that Neuer will feature in the match against Augsburg on Friday, the team is cautious about risking the 38-year-old player’s health.

Optimism remains for Neuer’s participation against Augsburg, but his readiness will be assessed during Thursday’s practice session. “It’s still a bit early to tell as we have training this afternoon,” Neuer commented, expressing hope for his involvement in Friday’s Bundesliga match.

Daniel Peretz steps up as Neuer’s backup

Should Neuer be unable to play, Daniel Peretz is set to take the field. Kompany remarked, “We’re assuming ‘Manu’ will be present. If not, Daniel Peretz will play tomorrow. We have no doubts about his capability; he performed excellently with his national team.” This situation casts uncertainty over Neuer’s availability for the highly anticipated match against PSG on Tuesday.

If Neuer is sidelined, Parisian strikers will encounter Daniel Peretz, the Israeli international goalkeeper who impressed with his performance last week against France, securing a 0-0 draw.
