December 11 – German goalkeeping legend Manuel Neuer has been ruled out for the rest of the year after suffering a broken rib.
Neuer missed the league win over Heidenheim on Saturday and joins a number of Bayern players on the injury list – including Harry Kane.
“He is nursing a broken rib. He will most likely not play anymore this year. It is important for this to heal and from January we’ll have him again,” said coach Vincent Kompany
Bayern are already without injured top scorer Kane, Joao Palhinha, Alphonso Davies and Serge Gnabry, among others and are in 13th place on nine points in the Champions League table, a point outside the top eight who automatically qualify for the last 16. Tonight they play Shakhtar.
