Neuer is Germany’s top goalkeeper at the World Cup… on two conditions

Veteran Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will return to Germany’s squad for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States of America, Sky Sports Germany reports, but that is subject to two conditions.

According to the network, Neuer will most likely wear the German shirt again, unless something exceptional happens in the next few hours or days, and provided that his substitution (due to a calf/calf injury) in today’s game in Cologne on Saturday does not have any long-term consequences.
