In running training! New makes progress

Ten days after his muscle fibre rupture in the league game at Fortuna Düsseldorf (4:1), Manuel Neuer has started training again. While his Bayern Munich teammates were preparing for the cup semi-finals in Bremen, the captain of the leader of the standings completed his first loose running session.

The 33-year-old’s goal is to get into the fight for the championship. “Basically, my goal is to get back between the posts as soon as possible. I think that Leipzig is a realistic goal,” Neuer said a week ago.

Bavaria will play in Saxony on 11 May (33rd matchday). After that, the Bundesliga home match against Eintracht Frankfurt (18 May) is on the programme. The DFB Cup Final in Berlin will take place on 25 May.
