Manuel Neuer is still carrying calf problems and did not train with the team today either, which was reported by Sport BILD.

Despite missing out on the team session in preparation for Saturday, Neuer was at Säbener Straße for treatment and rehab.

It's believed that a final decision on his DFB-Pokal availability will be made tomorrow, but the chances are currently said to be 50-50.

The 40-year-old has just come out of retirement for Germany wants to avoid any unnecessary risks ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

If Neuer is not fully fit by tomorrow and the Bayern medical staff are still unsure, Jonas Urbig will start the Pokal final against Stuttgart.
