"We made a few jokes about it. We joked with Rodyse about the photos [of him as a goalkeeper]. It was funny. I don't know who will start in goal tomorrow. But I'm happy with anyone, even if it will be a young keeper."
"Vincent Kompany has revealed there's a chance Urbig could play vs. Atalanta, but the final decision will be purely medical; if he's deemed fit enough, he'll get the green light, but if he's not, then he won't."
Bayern Munich confronts a critical goalkeeper shortage ahead of the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Atalanta. Jonas Urbig, Sven Ulreich, and Manuel Neuer are all currently sidelined with injuries. Ulreich recently suffered a thigh injury during the 1-1 draw at Leverkusen, his first competitive match in approximately 18 months. Manager Vincent Kompany indicated Urbig has a chance to play, with the final decision dependent on medical clearance. If Urbig remains unavailable, youth goalkeeper Leonard Prescott from Bayern's U-19 squad, who was on the bench at Leverkusen, will likely start. Tom Bischof addressed the situation with humor during the pre-match press conference, expressing confidence in any available goalkeeper.
