"That always depends on the healing process (...) my rehabilitation is going well at the moment, I am very positive and I believe it will get better," admitted the German international goalkeeper.

Manuel Neuer injured his left metatarsal in training and underwent surgery in mid-September. The initial timeline pointed to a return in January to the playing field.

The goalkeeper of Germany's best team and the reigning world champion had just returned to competition on August 26, after a long break due to an injury in April in the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid (2-1, 4-2 for Real) and already had foot problems in March.

Often injured or given rest last season, he has not played for the German national team for almost a year. His last match dates back to October 11, 2016, in the qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup against Northern Ireland (2-0).

In his absence, Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen is in charge of guarding the 'Mannschaft' goal, as he did brilliantly in the Confederations Cup, which Germany won.
