MUNICH — Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer faces a longer spell out than initially thought after aggravating a calf injury he suffered while celebrating a goal. Neuer was working on his comeback from a right calf muscle tear when he suffered a setback in training on Saturday. Bayern described it as a "reaction" and said he will need to rest further. German media reports it was another muscle tear. The 39-year-old Neuer first tore the muscle while celebrating a goal during Bayern's 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on March 6.
