Bayern keeper Neuer breaks foot, season in doubt

(Reuters) - Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer may be sidelined for the rest of the season after fracturing his left foot during the 4-2 loss at Real Madrid in Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg. The 31-year-old was injured in extra time during the buildup to Cristiano Ronaldo's third goal as Bayern lost 6-3 on aggregate. "Manuel Neuer suffered a fracture to his left foot in the 4-2 defeat away to Real Madrid according to an initial diagnosis," the club said on their website (fcbayern.com). "Neuer will undergo a thorough examination on arrival in Munich prior to a decision on the appropriate treatment." Bayern have a maximum of seven matches remaining this season provided they beat rivals Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup semi-final. (Reporting by Aditi Prakash in Bengaluru; Editing by Ian Ransom)
