The Bayern Munich and Germany goalkeeper has had many skin cancer procedures.
Manuel Neuer, the goalkeeper for Bayern Munich, has revealed that he has skin cancer on his face, for which he has had three procedures.
After introducing a new skincare product with tennis star Angelique Kerber, the Germany international has spoken up about his recent medical concerns.
“We both have a very personal history when it comes to skin diseases. Angelique has sun-induced hyperpigmentation and in my case skin cancer on my face, which I’ve had to operate on three times,” He stated this in a press release.
“That’s why we have paid particular attention to ensuring that we no longer make any compromises when it comes to sun protection: Because I train outside all the time and also like to spend my free time in nature.”
Neuer is ready to make his return for Bayern after being sidelined with a shoulder injury since their Bundesliga match with Dortmund in early October.
Fans in Germany feared the national team No.1 would be ruled out of the World Cup in Qatar, which begins later this month, but Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann has announced he will play against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.
