Neuer ‘to start’ DFB Pokal final if he trains, World Cup status monitored | OneFootball

Manuel Neuer’s recent calf muscle problem should not be underestimated, according to Sport BILD. The situation is being watched closely with the DFB Pokal final and the World Cup in view.

Internally, it has been agreed that if he takes part in team training on Thursday, he will start the DFB Pokal final.

There is ongoing dialogue with the DFB coaching staff about the extent to which the calf issue might affect his World Cup involvement.

A final meeting between the 40-year-old goalkeeper and Julian Nagelsmann is planned before Thursday’s squad announcement.

Since a 2009 debut, he has earned over 124 Germany caps and kept 51 clean sheets.
