Mattus and Harman talked about the position of the German national team in an interview with Sky Sports. They believed that due to Ter Stegen's injury, Neuer could be considered returning to the national team.

Matus: Nagelsman must consider it. Not only does Ter Stegen need another surgery, it is also difficult to conduct competition training after the operation. He will most likely not play for Barcelona again.

Matus: Nagelsman has good choices for Bowman, Nuber and Leno. But if he finds himself unable to fully trust these candidates in the next few months, he can certainly consider Neuer.

Matus: However, Neuer must decide whether to bear this additional burden in addition to representing Bayern in many games. So Neuer has to be prepared. He has performed well lately but has been plagued by injuries.

Harman: Of course, we must keep Neuer's choice. However, he missed several games last year. I don't think it's appropriate to have him as the goalkeeper for Germany now. Nagelsman should use the fall international game day to identify No. 1 goalkeeper – and continue to rely on Bowman and Nubel. If the No. 1 goalkeeper has not been confirmed by spring and the team needs it, Neuer is of course an option we should always consider.

Neul announced his withdrawal from the national team in August last year. But due to the injury and surgery, he may be injured for more than 3 months, which means he will not be able to play again until the end of the year, but he is no longer the No. 1 goalkeeper for Barcelona. Therefore, the position of the German goalkeeper No. 1 remains pending.
