Manuel Neuer revealed on Wednesday that he was previously treated for skin cancer and had to undergo surgery.

Neuer said he has a scar near his nose and that "I had to be operated on three times, and I had skin cancer there," in a video launching a new skincare line with former top-ranked tennis player Angelique Kerber.

He has not played since Oct. 8 due to a shoulder problem, but Bayern have said he could return to action when they face Hertha Berlin on Saturday.
