Bayern’s Neuer back on pitch after long absence
Berlin, March 27 (IANS) Bayern Munich and Germany captain Manuel Neuer on Tuesday returned to perform running exercises on the pitch at the Bavarian club’s sports city, a step toward the goalkeeper’s return to play after a long absence due to injury.
Neuer underwent surgery for a left foot injury in September and has not returned to the field since, reports Efe.
“The goalkeeper completed two 10-minute sessions under the guidance of fitness and rehabilitation coach Thomas Wilhelmi,” Bayern’s website reported.
“Neuer had another reason to be happy, because the Bayern and Germany No. 1 also celebrated his 32nd birthday on Tuesday,” the German club added.
Recently, Neuer said he expected to return to play this season, although neither he nor the medical team could determine the exact time.
Germany coach Joachim Low had expressed his confidence that Neuer can be called up for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
