Manuel Neuer Returns to Training, Calf Risk Persists

Manuel Neuer returned to the training pitch on Tuesday. The German Football Association released a video that raised questions about whether his calf remains a World Cup risk.

The DFB video shows Neuer performing drills on the grass. The footage follows his period of absence due to a calf injury.

Kai Havertz spoke shortly before the tournament general rehearsal. Havertz’s comments referenced Neuer’s condition.

The calf injury has been cited as a potential obstacle for the goalkeeper’s World Cup participation. The concern centers on the risk of the injury recurring during the tournament.

The upcoming rehearsal will provide a practical assessment of Neuer’s fitness. The national team will monitor his performance as the World Cup approaches.
