World's best Neuer returned to training 'as if he never left' – Sule

Manuel Neuer is the world's best goalkeeper and his return to training was incredible, according to Germany defender Niklas Sule.

Neuer, 32, missed almost the entire season after breaking his foot in Bayern Munich training last year.

Sule was impressed by what he saw from Neuer in training ahead of the goalkeeper's return against Austria in a friendly on Saturday.
