Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has claimed Manuel Neuer should be ‘proud of himself’ as the goalkeeper prepares to make his return from injury after 10 months out with a broken leg.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old has been out of action since breaking his leg in a skiing accident in the Bavarian Alps last December.<\/p>\n

Tuchel has confirmed that Neuer will return to the starting line-up in Bayern’s Bundesliga game at home to Darmstadt on Saturday.<\/p>\n

‘There were a few setbacks along the way, but those can be expected with such a big and lengthy injury.<\/p>\n
\u2018But as a patient or a sportsperson you don\u2019t want to accept that and try to be even strong than nature, but that\u2019s simply a part of such a big injury and you just had to remain patient and keep working hard.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m obviously looking forward to playing in front of our fans again and hopefully celebrating a win.\u2019<\/p>\n
