"Manuel Neuer has struggled to recover from a calf problem that's been troubling him since he was subbed off at halftime in Bayern's 3-0 win at Werder Bremen back in the beginning of February and Jonas Urbig suffered a concussion in the 6-1 win at Atalanta in leg one of the Champions League Round of 16."
"Sven Ulreich deputized for the first time in nearly 18 months for the 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen and the squad in the keeper's department is so thin at the moment that U-19 keeper Leonard Prescott was called up to be in the team as Ulreich's backup for the Leverkusen match."
"Bayern is very much keeping their eyes and ears open in the transfer market for keepers in the event that Neuer decides not to renew his contract for another season. His contract is set to expire this summer and the club's front office has maintained they will discuss his future at some point after he turns 40 later this month."
Bayern Munich's goalkeeping department is experiencing significant disruption due to multiple injuries. Manuel Neuer has been unable to recover from a calf problem sustained in early February, while Jonas Urbig suffered a concussion during the Champions League Round of 16 match against Atalanta. Sven Ulreich was called upon to deputize for the first time in 18 months during the Bayer Leverkusen match, with U-19 keeper Leonard Prescott brought in as backup. Following the match, Ulreich reported thigh discomfort. Bayern is actively monitoring the transfer market for experienced goalkeepers, particularly as Neuer's contract expires this summer and discussions about his future are planned after his 40th birthday. The club intends to eventually establish Urbig as the primary goalkeeper, with an experienced keeper serving as backup.
