Bayern Munich and Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has revealed he has had three operations for skin cancer on his face.The 36-year-old said his history of cancer was a driving force behind his decision to team up with compatriot and three-time tennis Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber to release a skincare range called ‘Newkee’.Remember when Neuer entered a training session with a plaster on his face & didn‘t want to tell the media the reason for that? Must have been from the cancer surgery. He also had a plaster on his finger. This man had cancer, kept it a secret and played like nothing happened.

In Angelique’s case, it’s sun-related hyperpigmentation, and in my case, it’s skin cancer on my face, which I’ve already had to have operated on three times,” Neuer said in a press release.”That’s why we also took special care not to make any compromises when it comes to sun protection: because I train outside all the time and also like to spend my free time in nature.”Bayern still high after Barca win but bad news follow – Neuer will be unavailable for a whileNeuer had not previously disclosed the cancer diagnoses, and a timeframe for when these operations occurred remains unclear.The German is currently on the comeback trail from a shoulder injury that has ruled him out since early October, and he hopes to be fit in time for Bayern Munich’s final three fixtures before the World Cup.##NAJAVA_MECA_6778848##
