Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will return to the German national team and participate in the World Cup to be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico in 2026.
According to Idman.Biz, Florian Plettenberg announced this on the X social media platform. According to him, the decision has already been made by the national team's head coach, Julian Nagelsmann.
It is reported that if no unexpected events occur and his substitution in the 5-1 victory over Cologne due to a calf injury does not lead to serious consequences, the goalkeeper will be included in Germany's squad for the tournament.
Nagelsmann agreed on this decision with Germany's sports director Rudi Voller after face-to-face talks in recent weeks. Neuer ended his international football career on August 21, 2024. The final squad of the German national team that will play in the World Cup will be announced on May 21.
