  • Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has cast doubt over his participation in this summer’s World Cup as he continues his recovery from a foot injury.

    Germany international Neuer has only played three league games this season and with the World Cup starting on June 14, time is running out to prove his fitness.

    The 32-year-old told Bayern’s official website: “I think it’s inconceivable that I’ll go to a tournament without any match practice.

    “There are still a couple of games left, so we’ll just have to wait and see.”

    There was a more positive update regarding team-mate Jerome Boateng, who is confident of being fit for the tournament in Russia.

    “I’m feeling better,” said the 29-year-old defender, who sustained a thigh injury against Real Madrid last month.

    “I don’t think there’s a danger of me missing the World Cup.”
