I think that in this case an injury is not something that is difficult for Bayern to overcome, especially now that they are also preparing to look for options when Neuer is confirmed to be out for the next 3 months.
The problem in the Bundesliga actually lies not in injuries or anything, but in fact it is the differences in the strength of the clubs that have an effect.
Currently Bayern is always on top and that is quite natural because they are at a different level so it is very difficult for other clubs to balance their dominance so inevitably the hegemony will continue.

It is obvious that we are going to end up seeing Bayern eventually start looking not just a replacement for time being, but a long term replacement as well. They probably had some players in mind before and they will look to get those younger players now.

This way not only those goalkeepers will play until Neuer is back, but also they could play together with Neuer when he comes back and learn from him and then they would just bench Neuer and use the younger one. Look at PSG, did they use donnaruma as soon as he got in? Of course not, they kept Navas in for a long time and gradually and slowly replaced him with donnaruma, same logic could happen here.

Manuel Neuer was irresponsible and that will cost him a lot, in my opinion I think he should think about retiring, because he is 36 years old, he will be 37 in a little while, he will be without playing for some time, bayern will sign another goalkeeper, if that other goalkeeper is better than Manuel Neuer and is younger, then bayern will no longer need Manuel Neuer, this is something very simple to predict, Manuel Neuer will no longer have another team to play due to his age and also because he will be sitting on the bench, so the only option he has is to retire now, I don't see any other choice he could have

this is something that would happen this or another season, but thanks to his injury, it accelerated the process of replacing him, and I think that bayern like any other team will look for a very young goalkeeper who can stay in the team for many seasons, and also bayern will not want to be spending money paying Manuel Neuer just for him to stay on the bench, Manuel Neuer will have to retire
