Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer expects to be fit to face Real Madrid in their Champions League semifinal first leg.

Neuer was substituted at halftime in the 3-0 home defeat by Borussia Dortmund last Saturday with a calf muscle problem.

"I feel fine and I have the feeling that I can play on Wednesday," he told Bayern's website on Thursday.

As Tom Starke was also injured, Neuer was replaced by third choice Lukas Raeder, who also played in the 5-1 German Cup win over Kaiserslautern on Wednesday.
