Bayern Munich Goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer Out Until 2018 After Breaking Left Foot

Bayern Munich have confirmed they will be without Manuel Neuer until January, after the German keeper broke his left foot for the third time in 2018. The 31-year-old originally suffered a hairline fracture to a metatarsal in March, but soon returned to action after a minor operation which saw a screw inserted into his foot. Neuer was pulled out of training at Sabener Strasse on Monday, complaining of a problem in his foot once more. He was immediately examined at the training ground before heading to hospital in Tubingen early on Tuesday morning for a final scan that confirmed he had once again cracked his metatarsal. Neuer, for many the world’s best goalkeeper, was operated on and had a plate set against the fracture, before Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge revealed Bayern don’t expect him to return until the new year. Rummenigge said; “The fact that Manuel Neuer has once again suffered an injury makes us incredibly sorry for him,” “The operation has gone perfectly and that is the most important thing. Now we are now looking forward, together with our captain, and Manuel will be back to his previous best and available to us again in January.” With Neuer absent, Bayern will rely on No.2 Sven Ulreich to step into the breach, with 17-year-old Christian Frutchl acting as his back up. This is Neuer’s third operation on the same foot in six months.

Check Out The Kind Of People You Will Meet On A Bus When Travelling

Taking a road trip in a commercial bus in Nigeria is usually skewed towards tedious or hilarious. It’s surely an avenue to meet different types of people and today, we’ll be taking a look at 9 types of people you will probably meet in a bus while traveling. Let’s go and don’t forget to tell us the category you belong.. 1. The Preacher “Let someone shout Hallelujah” .. that’s usually their first statement. The trip is usually long enough for a short service. So before you get to your destination, you guys would have done praise & worship, sermon, announcements etc.. some even add the offering session for you to support their ministry. 2. The Marketer This set of people convert a cramped bus cabin into a moving Tejuosho market. They sell anything they lay their hands on from edibles and drugs to wears and gadgets. Their sugar-coated mouth can make you embark on impulsive buying leaving you stranded after spending your transport fare. 3. Mr Nigeria This politician knows the past, present and future of Nigeria.. It’s always easy for them to get a chat partner discussing various topics ranging from the birth of Nigeria to the corruption in the land. 4. Co-Pilot They have one common attribute… they like to sit in the front seat while doubling as the driver’s personal assistant and google map. They know how to tell the driver to overtake and maneuver but the interesting thing is some of them cannot even drive. 5. The Gentle One You would only hear them speak twice throughout the trip. Their first word is “change” and the second one is “owa oo”. Owa oo is used to tell the driver you’ve gotten to your bus-stop in Lagos.. what is it called in your state? 6. The Super Sleeper These ones can sleep for Africa. Before the driver puts the bus in gear 1, they are already in gear 5. Some of them would have gotten to Ibadan before realizing they were meant to alight at Sagamu. Then you’ll see them begging for transport fare to make it back to their actual destination. 7. The Warrior Don’t try the Floyd Mayweather in the bus. He/She is always ready to fight anybody on the slightest opportunity. 8. The Pilferer Don’t gawk yourself.. because if you do, you might end up looking for your money, phone and/or any other valuables you’ve got. Imagine a pilferer sitting next to a super sleeper. Lol. 9. The Smooth Smoocher While the preacher is preaching and the pilferer is pilfering, the smoocher will be busy smooching silently. They always like the potholes and bumpy rides which helps them to tap some more current. This is one easy way to earn yourself a dirty slap in the bus. I remember an elderly man smooching a lady inside Edo Line on a Port Harcourt to Lagos trip way back.. She only gave the gist after the man alighted. Despite pricking the man’s hand with her toothpick endlessly, he never gave up throughout the journey.
