Soccer goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has already had to undergo surgery three times for skin cancer.

The captain of record champions Bayern Munich made this public in the context of an entrepreneurial activity.

Together with tennis star Angelique Kerber, Neuer has launched its own range of body care products, including sun protection.

While Kerber has to prevent “sun-induced hyperpigmentation”, Neuer wants to protect a healed skin cancer on the face from UV radiation, according to a statement.

shoulder is causing problems

“We both have very personal histories when it comes to skin diseases.

In the case of Angelique, it's sun-related hyperpigmentation and in my case skin cancer on my face, which I've already had to operate on three times," Neuer is quoted there as saying.

Neuer's state of health had recently been an issue again and again, but because of a shoulder injury.

Neuer recently took a break and has been doing goalkeeper-specific training again since the beginning of the week.

Around three weeks before the World Cup in Qatar, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann recently indicated that the keeper could possibly play again in the Bundesliga at Hertha BSC this weekend (Saturday, 3:30 p.m., TV: Sky).

Afterwards, Neuer would stay for the home game against Werder Bremen and the last Bayern game of the year on Saturday next week at FC Schalke 04 to gain match practice in the Munich goal.

National coach Hansi Flick will announce the German World Cup squad on November 10th.

Just four days later, the national team set off for the tournament in Qatar with a stopover for a friendly in Oman.

The DFB selection starts on November 23 against Japan in the World Cup finals.

Neuer's goal is to contest his fourth World Cup as the German number one.
