Bayern Munich’s goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, has marked a significant milestone on his road to recovery by rejoining training on Monday. This marks his first training session since suffering a fracture in his lower right leg back in December. Neuer had been sidelined for a substantial portion of the previous season as well as the beginning of the current one due to this severe injury.
In an official statement, the Bundesliga club expressed their optimism about Neuer’s progress, referring to his session with fellow goalkeepers as a positive development. The return of Neuer to training was seen as a piece of uplifting news for the club.
There have been increasing suggestions for Neuer to step away from his role in the Germany national team. However, Neuer, who boasts an impressive record of 117 caps for the national side, remains determined to make his comeback.
Simultaneously, Bayern Munich introduced their new goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz, who has inked a five-year contract with the club. This signing marks a historic moment for Bayern as Peretz becomes the team’s inaugural Israeli player. During a press conference on Monday, Peretz emphasized his intention to challenge both Neuer and Sven Ulreich for the coveted number one goalkeeper position.
“I am eager to compete and will devote myself to rigorous training to showcase my abilities to the coach,” Peretz stated confidently.
