Manuel Neuer returns to training ahead of Germany’s World Cup departure

Manuel Neuer returned to training on Monday, one day before Germany depart for the World Cup in the United States. The Bayern Munich goalkeeper has been recovering from a calf injury sustained last month.

According to BuLi News, the 40-year-old started with light jogging, progressed to sprints, then joined full goalkeeper training on the pitch.

He had sat out Germany’s 4-0 friendly win over Finland on Sunday. In his absence, Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann started in goal.

Neuer is confirmed as Germany’s first-choice for the tournament, and the hope is that he will be available for the final warm-up against co-hosts the United States on Saturday.

Germany open their World Cup campaign against Curaçao on June 14.
