However, the long injury suffered by Neuer now means that there is a very big possibility that he will not be able to perform optimally or perform at his best again after he recovers, especially at his young age.
It is true that the goalkeeper's position is slightly different and age is not a significant obstacle as is often the case in the world of football, even though he is over 35 years old, there are still many goalkeepers who are still in top performance, but the injury that befell Neuer during one season made this even worse. It's difficult in my opinion for him to be able to perform optimally again in the future.
Long injuries are an obstacle for all players, including a goalkeeper like Neuer, and it is quite reasonable that a goalkeeper who has been out for a long time can no longer perform as well as he could in the past. Because it will be quite difficult for any goalkeeper to give his best performance after recovering from the long injury he suffered, but Bayern Munich also still hopes that Neuer can recover well even though the team has also provided another goalkeeper who is no less good than Neuer.
