Manuel Neuer Set to Face Liverpool After Injury, Predicts 'Special' Atmosphere

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer expects to be fit to face Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League following an injury to his right thumb.

Neuer has missed the Bavarians' last three matches in all competitions and on Sunday he only used his feet in training, but he thinks he'll be ready for their trip to Anfield on February 19.

He told ESPN's Raphael Honigstein: "I am fine, it's not that bad. I think our medical [staff] will push me into goal and if everything is fine in training, I will play [against Liverpool].
