Manuel Neuer To Miss Germany Friendly Due To Injury


A knee problem will keep Manuel Neuer out of Germany’s international friendly with Australia on Wednesday. He is expected to be fit however for the Euro 2016 qualifier in Georgia on Sunday.

“Manuel Neuer will not play tomorrow,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said. “He has knee inflammation and it can take a day or two to heal.”

Captain Bastian Schweinsteiger is also a doubt for the Australia friendly.

“I will talk today with Bastian. Whether he will play from the start or a half or even sit it out, I have not yet decided,” Loew said.
