Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has revealed that he underwent three rounds of surgery as he battled skin cancer.
The German legend, 36, is currently facing a race against time to be fit for the World Cup due to a separate issue. Neuer took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that he’s been suffering from skin cancer, having recently invested in a sun cream with German tennis player Angelique Kerber.
The Bayern stopper explained: ‘I had to have three operations and have had skin cancer. Since we are constantly training and playing outside and also like to spend our free time in nature, it is essential for us to start with modern sun protection filters and with sun protection factor 50+. So we know for sure that we have a sunscreen that protects us continuously and with which hardly anything can burn.”
