Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has trained for the first time since Thursday, easing fears he could miss the Champions League clash with Liverpool due to a thumb injury.
Neuer, 32, sat out the weekend&apos;s 3-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen with understudy Sven Ulreich replacing him, but returned to training on Tuesday and should be fit to face Jurgen Klopp&apos;s side on Feb. 19.

Neymar turned 27 on Tuesday, and next month it will be 10 years since he made his professional debut.

Manchester City suffered a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United a week ago but after back-to-back draws by Liverpool -- most recently Monday&apos;s 1-1 result at West Ham -- they can move back to the top of the Premier League with a win at Everton on Wednesday night.

Chelsea are frustrated by Thibaut Courtois&apos; claim that director Marina Granovskaia went back on a promise to sanction his sale to Real Madrid last summer, sources have told ESPN FC.
Courtois refused to turn up for preseason training in an attempt to force through a move to Madrid, and Chelsea agreed a &amp;#163;35 million deal to sell him after activating the &amp;#8364;80m (&amp;#163;71.5m) buyout clause in Kepa Arrizabalaga&apos;s contract with Athletic Bilbao, who would come in as a replacement.
