Both Manuel Neuer and Leroy Sane will miss the German Cup clash with Augsburg on Wednesday, Bayern Munich coach, Julian Nagelsman made this known.
Neuer is still ailing from a shoulder injury and has missed Bayern’s last two matches, while Sane tore a muscle fibre in the 5-0 win over Freiburg on Sunday and is expected to miss up to three weeks.”Manuel is still feeling some pain,” said Nagelsmann, reluctant to “walk the tightrope” of bringing him back too early. Nagelsmann said he hoped the Germany goalkeeper would return for the weekend’s clash with Hoffenheim.“Every game that’s too early (can) lead to setbacks. Only (Neuer) can make the big decision. We won’t take any risks.”
Nagelsmann said the “annoying” absence of Sane, one of Bayern’s most in-form players, was uncertain.
“(Muscle fibre injuries) tend to be two or three weeks – I’m assuming more like three weeks,” Nagelsmann said.
