"I wasn't surprised that Manuel Neuer was back [in training] but pleased: that he's there again, that Jonas Urbig is training again. But the decision will be a purely medical one. If everything goes as expected, Urbig will start in goal. And if not, we'll find another solution."
"He's quite calm. But I have to say, when I look at a young player like him, it's the opposite end of the scale to Sven Ulreich. But we're a very calm staff overall. If he must play, he'll have our full support and backing."
Bayern Munich faces a goalkeeper crisis ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg against Atalanta. Jonas Urbig suffered a concussion in the first leg, Manuel Neuer remains unavailable, Sven Ulreich sustained a muscle injury, and Leon Klanac has a hamstring injury. This leaves 16-year-old Leonard Prescott as a potential option. However, manager Vincent Kompany received positive news when both Neuer and Urbig returned to training. Kompany stated that if everything proceeds as expected, Urbig will start, but Prescott could play if needed. Kompany expressed confidence in supporting any young player who takes the field.
