Manuel Neuer tried to race against time to make himself available for Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, but he stopped training because he felt pain in multiple areas of his body:

Manuel Neuer suffered a setback and had to cut today’s training session short. Neuer rejoined team training, initially made a good impression but then complained of pain in his lower back, buttocks, and calf. After that he left the training pitch. Unless Neuer makes a miraculous recovery, Jonas Urbig looks set to start against Dortmund on Saturday.

In the first place, Neuer shouldn’t have been rushing his return. He knows he’s become injury prone at his age, so he should’ve been taking it carefully. Anyway, hopefully it isn’t too serious but injuries like these might become a factor when he decides his future. This will most likely be Jonas Urbig’s first start against Die Schwarzgelben.
