In Germany the rumor is that Manuel Neuer will return as the #1 keeper, ahead of Marc-André ter Stegen.
Neuer did not impress in Germany’s disappointing FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign. After that, he suffered a long-term injury.
Ter Stegen was given a chance to be the #1 for his country in a series of UEFA Nations League and friendly games. There were some who thought that he might finally make the position his for good, given Neuer’s advanced age.
“He is definitely number one at the moment, but that is not something I am thinking about right now,” Neuer said about Ter Stegen recently.
