Manuel Neuer's 550th Bundesliga appearance ended with a partial tendon tear in his right foot. The 40-year-old Bayern Munich goalkeeper was injured in the first half of the Matchday 9 fixture against Mainz and had to come off, with Jonas Urbig taking his place. The injury is a significant blow for the club.
"It's the same problem he had before. It's resurfaced now. We hope it's not too serious," sporting director Max Eberl said. Neuer, who shares the record of 13 Bundesliga titles with Thomas Müller, now sits 52 appearances short of Charly Körbel's all-time record of 602.
