Neuer could not continue and Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said that his team will have to face the experienced goalkeeper if the injury excludes him from the leg back next Tuesday.
“Right now, I have no news on Manuel,” said Kompany. “But it is true that when he celebrated the goal, he was injured. It looks like his calf, but we will have to see now.
“I don’t want to exert too much pressure on Jonas (Urbig) or Manu. We had times without Harry KaneShe must and Joshua Kimmich This season and we have also played without a manual, so we will have to do it without him.
“We have talent in our team to continue. It was Jonas’s debut and you could have easier games of course, but in the first months with us, it seems really calm and controlled in its actions.”
Bayern will go to Leverkusen next Tuesday with one foot in the quarter -final, but Kompany said that the draw was still not finished.
