Bundesliga opener against Frankfurt: Manuel Neuer threatens to fail

Manuel Neuer threatens to miss the Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt (Friday, 8:30 p.m.). As Munich announced on Wednesday, the 36-year-old is struggling with gastrointestinal problems.

After the DFL Supercup against RB Leipzig, Bayern started yesterday with preparations for the Bundesliga opener next Friday against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Julian Nagelsmann can draw on almost unlimited staff. The Bayern coach only has to do without Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (rehabilitation training) and Leon Goretzka (knee surgery). There is also a question mark over the use of Manuel Neuer

The FCB captain was absent from team training on Säbener Strasse on Wednesday. According to Bayern, the goalkeeper has a gastrointestinal upset and is currently unable to train.

It remains to be seen whether the 36-year-old will be ready for action again by Friday. Should Neuer actually drop out, his backup Sven Ulreich will be between the posts against Frankfurt.
