FC Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer has donned his gloves again. After the record champions’ number one was able to "run at 100 per cent" again on Monday, the next step followed on Thursday. Under the guidance of goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic, the 31-year-old shot-stopper was able to complete his first specific goalkeeping session. Neuer spent 20 minutes catching and throwing a few balls without overexerting himself. "It feels good to be back on the pitch," read the world number one goalkeeper's post on Instagram.
