      It left him with a broken leg which has ruled him out for the rest of the season.
      However, the consequences of the trip could have been far worse if the emergency services were not on hand close by.
      BILD report that had a “rescue helicopter” not been nearby when the accident happened then he would have been out for far longer.
      Neuer’s ski boot has also been credited as holding his foot together, with the compression the boot provided limiting the swelling around the injury on his leg caused by severe bleeding.
