"If he has to play tomorrow, he will get full support and backing from us. We have many good players who will help him. And there will never be a young player here who is under pressure. No matter what happens: We have complete confidence in him."
"I'm happy that Manu is back in team training and that Jonas trained normally. But the decision will purely be a medical one. If things go as expected, Jonas will start. Otherwise we'll have to find another solution."
Bayern Munich faces a significant goalkeeper crisis with four top keepers sidelined by injury. Jonas Urbig may be available for the match against Atalanta, while Manuel Neuer is returning to team training. Manager Vincent Kompany demonstrates faith in young prospect Leonard Prescott, a 16-year-old who could potentially start if needed. Kompany emphasizes that Prescott will receive full support and backing from the team, with experienced players ready to assist him. The manager prioritizes medical assessments in determining the starting goalkeeper, preferring Urbig if he is fit. Kompany's confidence in Prescott reflects the club's commitment to developing young talent without placing undue pressure on emerging players.
