MUNICH, Germany, May 9, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer will return after a two-month absence alongside veteran Thomas Mueller, who will play his last home game with the club on Saturday.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany confirmed Neuer would return from injury for the home game against Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Bayern, who clinched their 34th German title last weekend, will be presented with the Bundesliga shield after the match, with striker Harry Kane set to lift team silverware for the first time in his career.

"If everything goes well, Manuel Neuer will be back tomorrow," Kompany said.

Neuer, 39, injured his calf muscle while celebrating a goal in Bayern's Champions League last 16 win over Bayer Leverkusen in March and has missed 11 games.

Asked if Mueller, who will leave in the summer after 25 years at the club, would start in his final home game, Kompany joked "I'm not stupid... I don't want to spoil the party."

Bayern hold an eight-point lead over second-placed Bayer Leverkusen with two games remaining.
