Bayern Munich
goalkeeper Manuel
Neuer was withdrawn
at half-time of his
side's Bundesliga
match with Borussia Dortmund , with the
club confirming the Germany international
had been replaced because of a calf injury.
The shot stopper played all of the first half
as his side went 1-0 down to their rivals on
Saturday but didn't emerge for the restart,
having been replaced by 20-year-old Lukas
Raeder.
Neuer's absence was felt from the early
stages of the second period as his young
replacement conceded twice in the first 12
minutes, being caught in a poor position
from Marco Reus and then seeing Jonas
Hofmann smashing over him and into the
back of the net shortly afterwards.
The injury could become a real problem for
Pep Guardiola as they prepare to meet Real
Madrid on April 23 in the semi-final of the
Champions League and Kaiserslautern in
the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday April
16. Bayern's second choice goalkeeper Tom
Starke has been ruled out for the
remainder of the season after tearing
a ligament in his right elbow.
