Coach Torsten Lieberknecht has no objection to a possible comeback by Bayern’s national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer against his club SV Darmstadt 98. “I’m pleased that Germany’s best goalkeeper is fit for action again,” said Darmstadt coach Lieberknecht at the press conference on Thursday. The Munich team are the clear favorites on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) and could build on Neuer again for the first time after a break of almost a year.
“We have to wait and talk to Manu,” head coach Thomas Tuchel said on Prime Video on Tuesday evening after the 3-1 (1-1) in the Champions League at Galatasaray Istanbul. If he can, then he will play. “He wants to anyway,” added Tuchel. The 2014 world champion played his last game ever in Germany’s early World Cup exit in Qatar on December 1, 2022 against Costa Rica. After the tournament, he broke his tibia and fibula on his right lower leg during a ski tour. He has been working on the comeback ever since.
