Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:
With Manuel Neuer's unexpected injury, Bayern Munich has recruited Borussia Mönchengladbach's Yann Sommer, who will be the leading man until the season's end. But how appealing is being the backup goalkeeper for Germany? Manuel Neuer's injury during a post-World Cup ski trip put Bayern Munich in a precarious spot.
The 36-year-old is expected to miss the remainder of the current season after breaking his leg in a skiing accident. Though perhaps not the keeper he once was, Neuer's loss is not ideal for a club with consistently high aspirations, winning the Champions League among them.
Bayern's goalkeeper situation was a frequent news topic over the holidays, with the defending league champions linked with various big names before eventually recruiting Yann Sommer from Borussia Mönchengladbach—the Swiss goalkeeper has signed a contract until June 2025.
"Yann Sommer is a valuable addition for us because he has a wealth of international experience and has already played in the Bundesliga for many years," Bayern CEO and former goalkeeper Oliver Kahn said as part of a club statement. "He has everything required to contribute immediately to our success." "We're certain we can achieve our goals with Yann Sommer."
