Bayern Munich have confirmed that captain Manuel Neuer has suffered a partial tear of a tendon in his right foot. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was hurt in the 2-1 Bundesliga win at Mainz on Saturday and came off before half-time.

Joshua Kimmich gave Bayern the lead in the 14th minute and Lennart Karl doubled it in the 57th. Phillip Tietz scored a late consolation for Mainz in the 90+2nd minute, and the win keeps Bayern top of the table with 21 points from nine games.

The club has not set a return date. According to AS, the goalkeeper will be out for several months, while RMC Sport says his year is effectively over. Jonas Urbig is expected to be in goal for Bayern in the coming weeks, according to Der Spiegel.

On FootVal's figures, Neuer's valuation is €2.5m, against his market value of €4m on Transfermarkt. His contract runs until June 2027, and he has made five appearances this season with an average rating of 7.02.
