Berlin: Recalled Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will miss his country's friendly matches against France and the Netherlands due to injury, the German Football Association (DFB) said on Wednesday.
The 37-year-old tore a muscle in his left leg during training on Wednesday and had to leave the session in Frankfurt, the DFB wrote on X.
Neuer had been due to make his international return against France in Lyon on Saturday after being selected by coach Julian Nagelsmann for the first time in 15 months.
But he will now miss that match, as well as Germany's clash with the Netherlands in Frankfurt next Tuesday.
The injury also casts doubt on the Bayern Munich captain's participation in his club's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Arsenal on April 9.
