Kompany confirmed
Rib fracture! Manuel Neuer out for longer
FC Bayern Munich will have to do without Manuel Neuer for the remaining games of the year.
"It's a broken rib, he probably won't play again this year," said coach Vincent Kompany ahead of the record soccer champions' Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk in Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday(21:00 live in the sportkrone.at ticker). "It's important that it heals, then we'll have Manu back in January."
Neuer suffered the injury in the 1-0 DFB Cup defeat to Bayer Leverkusen - during the foul on Jeremie Frimpong for which he received the first red card of his career. Kompany confirmed this on Monday. As in the 4:2 win against 1. FC Heidenheim, Daniel Peretz will replace him.
Laimer: "Full confidence" in Neuer replacement Peretz
Konrad Laimer has "full confidence" in the Israeli, who will make his debut in the top flight. The 24-year-old had already deputized for Neuer in the cup and in the Bundesliga "very calmly and very calmly", "he did a very good job", said the Salzburg player: "We want to make it as easy as possible for him." Kompany also emphasized: "He deserves it, he should just be himself."
Personnel worries
Neuer is just one of numerous injured players Kompany will have to do without. "There are a lot of players out at the moment," said the Belgian, "but we think we'll have a big squad again at the start of January. We've actually come through quite well." In addition to Neuer, other players missing against the Ukrainian champions at Schalke include goalscorer Harry Kane, Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies, Joao Palhinha and Serge Gnabry.
Before the winter break, there are still the league games at Mainz 05 and against RB Leipzig on the program.
