"Bayern Munich's goalkeeping situation deteriorated rapidly as Manuel Neuer suffered a muscle tear against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Jonas Urbig sustained a concussion against Atalanta Bergamo, and third-choice Sven Ulreich reported a thigh injury after his first professional match in nearly two years against Bayer Leverkusen."
"If Ulreich's injury proves serious and keeps him unavailable until the March international break, Bayern would have no senior goalkeepers available, forcing head coach Vincent Kompany to potentially start either 16-year-old Leonard Prescott or 19-year-old Jannis Bärtl in the upcoming Champions League second leg against Atalanta and Bundesliga match against Union Berlin."
"Ulreich admitted after the Bundesliga clash: 'I felt something in my thigh. I hope it's nothing serious,' expressing concern about his physical condition following his return to professional football after an extended absence."
Bayern Munich experienced a severe goalkeeper injury crisis within a short period. Starting goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered a muscle tear against Borussia Mönchengladbach, followed by second-choice Jonas Urbig sustaining a concussion against Atalanta Bergamo. Third-choice Sven Ulreich, making his first professional appearance in nearly two years against Bayer Leverkusen, delivered a strong performance in a 1-1 draw but reported a thigh injury afterward. If Ulreich's injury proves serious and keeps him unavailable until the March international break, Bayern would lack senior goalkeepers for crucial upcoming matches, potentially requiring 16-year-old Leonard Prescott or 19-year-old Jannis Bärtl to start in the Atalanta second leg and Union Berlin clash.
