FC Bayern Munich will need to be without captain Manuel Neuer for an extended period. The club reported on Sunday that the goalkeeper suffered a tendon tear in his right foot during the 2-1 away victory against 1. FSV Mainz 05 the previous day. Neuer was forced to leave the game in Mainz shortly before the halftime whistle due to the injury. At this time, a precise recovery timeframe has not been announced. During Neuer’s absence, Jonas Urbig will be managing the goal for Bayern. Urbig has often substituted for the 40-year-old, especially given that Neuer has struggled with various foot problems in recent years.
