dr Fabian Stuby, 55, head of the accident clinic in Murnau, operates on the football stars of FC Bayern, most recently Manuel Neuer after his lower leg fracture. A conversation about expensive legs, seeing hands and the bones of Lionel Messi.
How did the story with Manuel Neuer go?
He had injured himself while skiing. In that case, he himself consulted his team doctor, Dr. Jochen Hahne had informed. So Mr. Neuer came to us. Of course it’s important to us as a clinic that nothing gets out until the player expresses himself. Even if there are calls from various media. Lots of calls.
How do you keep those at bay? Just say: a Manuel Neuer? We don’t have it, sorry.
It happens that someone calls me on my private cell phone. So I ask myself: where did he get my number from? I then politely refer them to our press office or FC Bayern.
