Bayern Munich’s goalkeeper and captain, Manuel Neuer, has been handed a two-match suspension after receiving his first-ever red card in a Bundesliga match against VfL Wolfsburg on Tuesday. Neuer was sent off for a reckless challenge outside the penalty area, surprising many given his long career without such an incident.
The suspension means Neuer will miss two upcoming matches, leaving Bayern to rely on their backup goalkeeper. Despite the red card, Neuer’s status as one of the world’s top goalkeepers remains intact, and Bayern will look to quickly move past this rare event.
