Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer ruled out of action for two weeks

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is facing two weeks on the sidelines after sustaining a muscle injury over the weekend.

The German champions returned to the Bundesliga summit with a 4-1 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf on Sunday, thanks to a Kingsley Coman brace and goals from Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka.

Head coach Niko Kovac was dealt a major injury blow in the 53rd minute, however, as Neuer limped off with a calf issue to be replaced by Sven Ulreich.

Following an examination by the club's medical officers Dr Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt and Prof Dr Peter Ueblacker, the Bayern number one has been ruled out of action for 14 days.
