MUNICH (AP) Germany and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been ruled out for the rest of the year due to another hairline fracture of the metatarsal in his left foot.

Bayern says the 31-year-old Neuer injured the foot again on Monday in training, and he underwent surgery to set the fracture with a plate on Tuesday.

Neuer was out from April to August with the same foot injury.

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge says, ''We're incredibly sorry for him. The operation went perfectly, which is the most important thing for now.''
