Manuel Neuer Remains Unlikely to Feature for Bayern Munich in Season Opener Against Eintracht Frankfurt

• Bayern Munich get their Bundesliga campaign underway with a trip to Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday
• Manuel Neuer is suffering with a tummy bug and remains a doubt for Bayern Munich's first game
• Sven Ulreich could feature in Bayern Munich's first game of the season if he steps in for Manuel Neuer

Bayern Munich face a nervy wait to see if their captain will be eligible to play in the Bundesliga season opener.

The defending champions will face off against Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt at the Deutsche Bank Park tomorrow, August 5.

As reported by Bulinews, Neuer remains a doubt for the game after being sidelined with a tummy bug. The keeper, as a result, has been unable to train with the squad for the season opener against Frankfurt.

Bayern will already be without Leon Goretzka and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for the game. If Neuer isn’t medically cleared in time, Bayern will have to call upon Sven Ulreich to stand in for him.
