Strange, but I think it's different for a keeper

I would think any other outfield player the clubs DONT want to release players for the national team. I suppose for a keeper the risk of injury is much lower than compared to a potential hamstring issue on Reus or Gnabry. But to mandate that Neuer is the starting keeper or else no other players?
That's still very strange.

if they withold players from international compteition

clubs can be fined and even removed from european club compteitions. Essentially clubs cannot withold players.

Not been the case with Bayern's leadership

They have very much been in favor of having more national team players in their side. Either KHR or Uli (can't remember which) have said they want "FC Germany" and it's also why they wanted Lucas and Pavard - both mainstays in the French side and WC winners.
