MUNICH — Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is set to return for Bayern Munich for the first time in more than a month in Saturday's game against Borussia Moenchengladbach but Jamal Musiala will miss out because of illness. The 38-year-old Neuer missed Bayern's last four games of 2024 with a broken rib. Coach Vincent Kompany says he now looks fully fit again. Neuer's return for Bayern's first game of 2025 is all the more important after backup Daniel Peretz injured a kidney in a training incident. Musiala hasn't been training because of illness and now is confirmed to miss Bayern's first league game of the new year.
