"Jonas trained normally today. The decision tomorrow will be a medical one. If everything goes well, then Urbig will be in goal. If not, then we will have to find another solution. He is very calm. Overall, we as a staff are also calm. If he plays, he will have our full backing."
"Everyone will help. There will never be a young player who will be forced to play a main role. We have full confidence in him, whatever happens."
Bayern Munich faces a goalkeeping crisis ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg against Atalanta. Manuel Neuer remains sidelined, while Sven Ulreich suffered an injury against Bayer Leverkusen. Jonas Urbig, another option, sustained a concussion in the first leg and his fitness status remains uncertain. This situation may force Bayern to deploy 16-year-old Leonard Prescott, who required special clearance to train in evening sessions due to his age. Manager Vincent Kompany expressed confidence in Prescott's ability to handle the responsibility, emphasizing the team's support and calm approach to the potential scenario.
