The strong form of Manuel Neuer is causing excitement at FC Bayern - and repeatedly discussions about a possible return of the goalkeeper to the German national team. But DFB sports director Rudi Völler has now clarified: A comeback of the 39-year-old is currently not an issue.
On Sky, Völler clearly stated his position on the goalkeeper question in the national team and made it clear that the place between the posts should remain with Marc-André ter Stegen in the long term. "I believe that a goalkeeper like Marc-André ter Stegen actually deserves to play a World Cup eventually. Even though Oliver Baumann is currently doing well," Völler explained.
The sports director made it clear that the DFB planning is still focused on the keeper of FC Barcelona as soon as he has overcome his back injury. "Of course, we hope that Marc-André will come back," said Völler. "If he manages that, he naturally has good chances." Ter Stegen is currently still out until at least the end of the year, but must play regularly after his return to remain the number one for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
At the same time, Völler showed understanding for the public debate about Neuer. "I know, the topic is interesting," admitted the 1990 World Cup winner.
