Goalkeeper debate
Manuel Neuer advisor does not exclude DFB comeback
Does Manuel Neuer return to the DFB team as number one? If Ter Stegen continues to struggle with injuries and problems in the club, the Bayern keeper is probably ready.
The current number one in the DFB team is called Oliver Baumann. The Hoffenheim goalkeeper will be guarding the gate up to and including December of this year. Four World Cup qualification games are coming up during this time. But what then?
Does the nominal number one return, Marc-André ter Stegen? This is by no means certain because of the difficult situation of the Mönchengladbach native at FC Barcelona and his long failures. Or does national coach Julian Nagelsmann fall back on Manuel Neuer, who is fit and still a top keeper? Or does Alexander Nübel move from VfB Stuttgart to number one? This is not entirely excluded.
Manuel Neuer is obviously ready
