Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer set a club record on Saturday by becoming the oldest player to feature in a Bundesliga match for the club, but his milestone appearance was cut short due to injury.

The 38-year-old started the league fixture against Mainz 05 at the Mewa Arena, surpassing the previous age record. However, Neuer was forced off in the first half and replaced by backup goalkeeper Jonas Urbig.

The nature of Neuer's injury was not immediately disclosed. Bayern Munich did not provide an update on his condition following the match.
