Manuel Neuer,the goalie for Bayern,fractured his leg while on a skiing trip and will miss the remainder of the season. After playing for Germany at the 2022World Cup in Qatar and seeing them eliminated in the group stage, the 36-year-old announced his injury on social media.
Having had surgery to repair the fracture, the German veteran has stated he would miss the rest of the 2022–23 season. Unfortunately, heis in the twilight of his career and will be 37 years old when he finally returns to the field.
However, this is a pressing issue for the Bundesliga champions, who must find a replacement for their captain before the season begins again in the new year. Bayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn said last week that the 27-year-old Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic, who excelled for Croatia at the World Cup, was not of interest to them.

As the game came to a close, Martinez was presented with the Golden Glove trophy for his stellar performance. Now, after losing their starting goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to a ski accident, Bayern reportedly want to sign Martinez.
