Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer faces a nervous wait to see if his injury will keep him out of action for substantial time

Neuer suffered an injury in training today for Bayern and will miss their upcoming match.

The extent of the problem is not yet established, and the world’s top goalkeeper will be hoping he can make a swift recovery.

Celtic face Bayern on October 18 and the Scottish champions may have an extra slither of hope for their Champions League match at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 3-0 win over Anderlecht, while Celtic were defeated 5-0 at home to Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern Munich's German keeper Manuel Neuer warms up ahead the Champions League group B match between Bayern Munich and RSC Anderlecht in Munich, southern Germany, on September 12, 2017.

Bayern’s back up options are 29-year-old Sven Ulreich or youngster Christian Fruechtl.

Celtic face a near impossible task to beat the German champions in their two home and away matches, and a draw would even be seen as a positive result.

If Neuer is missing, it will give them just a little bit of hope.
