[February 07, 2022] (Reuters)
-Bayern Munich will be without Manuel
Neuer for "the coming weeks" after the goalkeeper successfully
underwent knee surgery on Sunday, the German club said.
Neuer played in Bayern's 3-2 league win over RB Leipzig on Saturday,
keeping out a late attempt by Sweden forward Emil Forsberg to secure
a record-equalling 310th Bundesliga victory, drawing level with
Oliver Kahn.
While Bayern did not specify how long Neuer would be out of action,
the 35-year-old said on social media that his surgery went well, and
that he was hoping to be back in a "couple of weeks".
"All of us in the club and the team wish Manuel a good and speedy
recovery, and we're sure he'll be back to full fitness with us
soon," Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said in a
statement.
