Signs extension Neuer signed a one-year extension on Tuesday to remain with Bayern Munich until the 2025 season.

Impact Neuer will be remaining with Bayern Munich for another season after signing his contract extension on Tuesday. The goalie has already spent 12 seasons with the club since transferring from Schalke and now will make it 14 after inking the deal.

Easy clean sheet Neuer made one save and allowed zero goals in Friday's 1-0 victory versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Neuer faced one shot, he stopped one shot, and he came away with another clean sheet. There's not a whole lot more to say for Neuer, who hasn't had much to do since coming back from injury and seems to be steady as ever, just keeping clean sheets with relative ease behind an elite defensive unit.

Concedes two in win Neuer registered no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory over FC Heidenheim.

Impact Neuer conceded for the first time in three league appearances this season, but thanks to a great offensive effort from his team, he was able to walk away with the win. Neuer was not able to make a save in the match, but he has five saves, compared to two goals against on the season. He had 11 goals against through 12 league games last season and is on pace to maintain a similar rate of success.

Concedes once Wednesday Neuer recorded one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Galatasaray.

Impact In his first Champions League match since returning from his broken leg, Neuer was minutes away from keeping a clean sheet. Instead, Cedric Bakambu beat him in the 93rd minute and Neuer conceded his first goal of the season in all competitions. He still did enough to secure the win though, which sends Bayern to the knockout rounds with two matches to spare.

Yet to concede Neuer recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Neuer has made two starts in the Bundesliga since returning and he has made five saves and kept two clean sheets. A return doesn't get much better than that as the veteran goalkeeper seemingly remains the gold standard between the posts. The only concern will be how Neuer holds up with the rigorous schedule in the coming weeks.

Manuel Neuer's long-awaited return boosts Bayern but 'Klassiker' at Dortmund will be the real test

Manuel Neuer is finally back for Bayern Munich

Four saves in return Neuer had four saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 8-0 win over SV Darmstadt 98.

Impact Neuer was kept pretty active in the first half of his return to play, making four saves, but his workload diminished as Bayern poured on eight goals, keeping his clean sheet. It was probably the 37-year-old's ideal return after almost a year of being injured, picking up a clean sheet in a highly non-contentious match. His next contest will be of higher implications, as Bayern travels to Dortmund for a rivalry match next Saturday.

Could return Saturday Neuer (lower leg) could return for Saturday's clash with Darmstadt, manager Thomas Tuchel told reporters.

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.

Impact Even though Neuer doesn't have a scheduled date for his return to action, the fact that he's back in training is certainly a step in the right direction for the goalkeeper, who hasn't played since the 2022 World Cup. Sven Ulreich and Daniel Peretz will remain as options between the posts while Neuer is sidelined.
