Neuer had gone for a break to try and get over Germany's first round exit at the World Cup.
"Hey guys," he wrote on Instagram with a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed with his thumb raised. What can I say, the end of the year could definitely have gone better... While I was trying to get my head clear while ski touring, I suffered a lower leg fracture. Yesterday's surgery went well. Many thanks to the doctors! It hurts to know that the current season is over for me."
Bayern will miss 36-year-old Neuer - a key member of the 2014 German World Cup winning side - for the business end of the season both domestically and in the Champions League.
Bayern top the Bundesliga table - they are four points clear of Freiburg - and face a tricky Champions League last 16 clash against French champions Paris Saint-Germain with the first leg on February 14.
