Multiple Bayern Munich stars have suffered a slight injury crisis in recent days. The German giants have revealed that starting goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and new January signing Sacha Boey picked up setbacks this week. The incidents occurred while the club is on an international break. Nevertheless, both players suffered injuries during training sessions.
Neuer, one of the top goalkeepers of his generation, went down while on international duty with Germany. “Manuel Neuer has torn a muscle in his left adductor while training with the German national team,” Bayern said in a statement. “The diagnosis was confirmed by the DFB medical unit. The FC Bayern captain will therefore miss the upcoming friendlies against France and the Netherlands and return to Munich.”
Boey, on the other hand, picked up his specific injury while practicing with his club. “FC Bayern will be without full-back Sacha Boey for the next few weeks,” claimed the club. “The new arrival this winter suffered a torn muscle in his left hamstring during training on Wednesday. The diagnosis was confirmed by the FC Bayern medical unit.”

The two setbacks come just days after superstar striker Harry Kane went down with an ankle injury during a recent Bundesliga fixture. Kane required a substitution in the matchup with Darmstadt on Saturday, March 16th after colliding with the goalpost. The England captain did manage to recently meet up with his national team earlier this week.
Nevertheless, the center forward is not currently training with the squad and is a doubt to play their two upcoming friendlies. The Three Lions face Brazil on Saturday, March 23 and then play Belgium three days later. Bayern will certainly hope that Kane will receive ample rest during the coming days.
