There was a potentially encouraging sight for Bayern Munich supporters following Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund, as Manuel Neuer was present with the team in the dressing room after Der Klassiker.
The Bayern Munich captain has been dealing with persistent foot tendonitis, which kept him out of the match against Dortmund, leaving Jonas Urbig to take his place between the posts.
With Bayern facing another massive challenge against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday, Neuer’s availability remains an important question for Vincent Kompany’s coaching staff. As Neuer left the Allianz Arena, Sky Sport Germany asked whether his recovery would progress sufficiently for him to feature against Atlético.
