Having been sidelined for several weeks with a muscle fiber tear in his calf, Manuel Neuer is back in team training and closing in on a return to action.
According to Bild and Kicker, the 39-year-old is expected to be between the posts for Bayern Munich in their upcoming Bundesliga clash against RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Despite impressing during Neuer’s absence, Jonas Urbig will have to make way for the veteran, provided Neuer is fit enough to play.
A win in Leipzig would secure Bayern’s Bundesliga title, and Neuer will undoubtedly want to be part of that achievement if possible.
Neuer has been out since suffering the injury during Bayern’s 3-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg victory over Bayer Leverkusen on March 5.
