Neuer returns to Bayern Munich after 8 months out
Berlin, May 18: Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer on Friday prepared for a match after missing eight months due to a foot injury that took him much longer to recover from than expected.
Neuer's return was announced by the Bavarians on the eve of the club's German Cup final against Eintracht Frankfurt, scheduled for Saturday, reports Efe.
During the week, Neuer managed to complete a full practice regimen with Bayern for the first time since his injury.
However, it is likely that Neuer will stay on the bench on Saturday while teammate Sven Ullreich starts as goalkeeper for Bayern.
His injury caused concern in Germany ahead of the World Cup.
Germany's national team coach Joachim Low included Neuer in his provisional call, which includes another four keepers.
He is to decide in the coming weeks whether Neuer will travel to Russia for the 2018 World Cup.
Neuer won the 2014 World Cup with Germany and is considered by some pundits to be among the best goalkeepers to ever play.

UP: 90 Bangladeshis, including 28 children, held in Mathura for illegal stay
Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.
They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.
"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.
Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.
"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.
The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.
Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
