This is the case, for example, of Sébastien Haller, a French striker from Borussia Dortmund who suffers from testicular cancer. But not long ago came the announcement of another football world champion who faces an uphill battle.

We are talking about Manuel Neuer, German goalkeeper, among the best of his generation. The Germany and Bayern Munich number 1 revealed today that he has a serious illness and has been dealing with it for some time now.

Unexpected announcement from Neuer: Bayern Munich goalkeeper has already undergone surgery

Neuer has often been talked about for certain particular injuries or stoppages, which kept him away from competitions and training for a while. Many have thought about muscle fragility, also considering the 36 years.

But in reality, the very sturdy goalkeeper has been hiding a serious health problem for a long time. “I have skin cancer, I have already operated three times” – admitted Neuer, literally shocking his fans and all football fans in the world. Manuel Neuer (Ansa photo)

The revelation of the footballer intervened on the sidelines of an advertisement for dermatological products, in particular sunscreens, in the company of the tennis player Angelique Kerber: “We both have a very personal history of skin diseases. This is why we have been particularly careful not to compromise when it comes to sun protection. Because I always train outside and I also like to spend my free time in nature”.

Truly surprising, thought-provoking words. But also to hope, given that Neuer has been facing the disease for some time with great serenity and coldness, having never revealed anything on the field of play. It is no coincidence that the Bayern goalkeeper is recently appeared with a strange spot on his face, possibly a sign of some recent surgeries.
