Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer will start in goal on Sunday for the World Cup opener against Curacao. The 40-year-old goalkeeper, who plays a key role for the club, is making his return to the German national team after a two-year absence. Julian Nagelsmann, the coach, confirmed the decision at a press conference in Houston, stating that Neuer is fit again after a recent injury. This marks a significant moment for the Bayern keeper, who last played for Germany during the Euro 2024 against Spain. Neuer has been instrumental in Bayern Munich's success, including winning the Bundesliga and reaching the Champions League semi-finals. His comeback is eagerly anticipated by fans and experts alike, as he continues to be regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in history.
