Bayern Munich’s night went from bad to worse with the news that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer may be sidelined for the rest of the season.
The German fractured his left foot during the 4-2 defeat by Real Madrid in Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg.
The 31-year-old was injured in extra time during the build-up to Cristiano Ronaldo’s third goal as Bayern lost 6-3 on aggregate.
With all three substitutions made Neuer completed the game, but Bayern have now revealed he has broken his foot and could miss the remained of the season, including a potential German Cup final.
‘Manuel Neuer suffered a fracture to his left foot in the 4-2 defeat away to Real Madrid according to an initial diagnosis,’ the club said on their website.
‘Neuer will undergo a thorough examination on arrival in Munich prior to a decision on the appropriate treatment.’
Bayern have a maximum of seven matches remaining this season provided they beat rivals Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup semi-final.
With five Bundesliga games left they are eight points clear of second-placed RB Liepzig, seeking a fifth straight title.
