Neuer suffering from 'skier's thumb'

Bayern Munich's number one is also likely to miss their cup clash with Hertha Berlin on Wednesday, but more of a worry for Bayern is that their Champions League last-16 showdown with Liverpool is fast approaching and they will want Neuer fit for that clash. The German had scans on his thumb to determine the severity of the injury and if it requires surgery, it could rule him out for as long as three months.

Bayern's back-up goalkeeper, Sven Ulreich is positive though and has revealed that Neuer's thumb is "really fat, but in one or two days things should look different and he could be able to play."
