Manuel Neuer is currently sidelined with a torn muscle fiber – and the Bayern Munich goalkeeper looks set to be out for some time.

According to Bild, the 39-year-old is expected to miss three to four weeks.

This means that Neuer could potentially sit out of Bayern's next four Bundesliga matches against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.

Jonas Urbig is playing in the veteran's absence. So far, the 22-year-old has made eight appearances for Bayern across all competitions this season.
