Manuel Neuer has ended his international retirement to return to the German national team as the starting goalkeeper for the upcoming World Cup, as confirmed by coach Julian Nagelsmann. The 40-year-old, a 2014 World Cup winner and now set for his fifth consecutive tournament, replaces Oliver Baumann as number one. Germany, in Group E with Curacao, Ecuador, and Ivory Coast, seeks redemption after early exits in 2018 and 2022.
