Football Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer is set to be fit for tomorrow’s
Champions League quarter-final against
Arsenal . Neuer has missed the previous two games for Bayern after tearing a muscle in his left adductor while training with
Germany last month. The goalkeeper, however, took part in training this morning in Munich and was expected to fly with the squad to
London later today. There was further good news for Bayern this morning as Aleksandar Pavlovic, Kingsley Coman , Leroy Sane and Noussair Mazraoui all took part in training. The quartet missed Saturday’s defeat to Heidenheim and had been doubts for tomorrow’s game with Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. In the absence of Neuer, Sven Ulreich has played the last two games and Bayern lost both of those matches, conceding four goals in the process. On Saturday, they threw away a two-goal lead at Heidenheim to lose 3-2 and they are 16 points off Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen with six games to go. Manager Thomas Tuchel has already conceded the title race is over and so Bayern’s full focus now is the Champions League. Neuer’s return would be a huge boost and the goalkeeper is itching to get back after being forced to miss the start of the season due to injury.
