Neuer has missed the last two games because of a thumb injury, and Bayern don't want to take any risks ahead of the Champions League game against Liverpool on February 19.
"The player must always decide if they are ready to play or not. He couldn't against Hertha, the same probably goes tomorrow. We don't want to take any risks with Liverpool coming up," Kovac said, as quoted by the club.
If Neuer is unable to play, Sven Ulreich is set to be in goal for Bayern for the third time in a row.
