Impact Neuer nearly played during Tuesday's Champions League clash with Galatasaray and could be an option Saturday. Tuchel was quick to say that when Neuer is fit and can play without pain he will take the starting job back. The clarity is certainly helpful and avoids any questions about if Sven Ulreich will continue to see regular minutes, though it seems the closing stages of Neuer's recovery have a less definite timeline. Ulreich's days as the starting goalkeeper seem to be numbered, and it will be hard to predict precisely when Neuer returns to the top job.
