Bayern Munich's 21-year-old goalkeeper Jonas Urbig has stepped up remarkably in the absence of seasoned starter Manuel Neuer due to injury. Max Eberl, a board member, praised Urbig for his talent and performance, highlighting that he has effectively filled Neuer's shoes during this period. Urbig, who was signed from FC Köln, displays significant potential, sparking debate about whether he can eventually become the main goalkeeper. His contributions so far suggest he can not only compete for the position but might thrive in it.
"Jonas is a very talented goalkeeper and exactly what we had in mind with this decision. He has shown very good performances in recent weeks, has great potential, and has replaced Manu very well."
"Whether he can ultimately succeed Manuel Neuer is still up for debate, but the 21-year-old did nothing to make anyone think that he could not at least contend for the position."
