Won't play in Cup final
Neuer (calf) will not feature in Saturday's DFB Pokal final against Stuttgart and will instead focus entirely on being fully fit for the World Cup with Germany, the club posted.
Analysis: Neuer had been substituted as a precaution during Saturday's win over Koln with a calf issue, and Bayern have decided not to risk their veteran goalkeeper for the cup final in order to prioritize his availability for the tournament. Neuer ends the Bundesliga season with 22 starts, 31 saves and six clean sheets while conceding 20 goals, and Germany will be counting on him to be their number one between the posts when the World Cup gets underway this summer.
Called up by Germany
Neuer (calf) has been called up by Germany for the World Cup and is expected to be the starting goalkeeper for the tournament according to reports.
Analysis: Neuer had been substituted in the 60th minute of Saturday's win over Koln as a precaution due to a calf issue, but the call-up confirms the problem is not considered serious enough to threaten his participation. The veteran goalkeeper ends the Bundesliga season with 22 starts, 31 saves and six clean sheets while conceding 20 goals, and his selection by coach Julian Nagelsmann signals that Germany are backing their experienced number one to lead them through what promises to be a highly competitive tournament.
