New injury and lock: shock for Bavaria to Leverkusen-Debakel!

New injury and lock: shock for Bavaria to Leverkusen-Debakel!

München, Deutschland - FC Bayern Munich is standing from the DFB Cup after a bitter departure from the DFB Cup. Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper and captain of the record champions, was put off the game in the game against Bayer Leverkusen (0: 1) after only 17 minutes with a red card after fouling Jeremie Frimpong. This decision of the referee, Harm Osmers, led to the early behind FC Bayern, who had to outnumber the remaining 70 minutes. The DFB has now officially imposed a lock of two DFB Cup games against Neuer, including for the possible Supercup final in August 2025, such as news38.de reported.

Neuer relies on objection

The lock could, however, weigh even more heavily, since Neuer lodged an objection to the decision of the DFB, which has now been rejected. The DFB sports court decided that the dismissal of the foul on Frimpong, which thwarted an obvious chance of scoring, according to the common regulations, leads to a lock of two games. The DFB said that there was no exception in this case. Max Eberl, head of sports at FC Bayern, commented on newer situation and described the punishment as disproportionate, consider the 850 games that Neuer has completed so far without collecting a dismissal, such as merkur.de reported.

In addition, newer injury, which has suffered from the scene - he suffered a break - also delay his return to the game. While staying at FC Bayern is likely after the end of the current season, the question remains whether the goalkeeper will still be in the squad when he returned after the injury and whether he will miss the upcoming DFB Cup games in the coming year.
