"During the holiday in December, I already knew that Jonas would get two games in January,"
"After the game against Augsburg, it was 100% clear to me that this is a moment where a young player can take steps forward. We have an incredible luxury in this position. Now it's Manu's turn again [against HSV]. And we'll decide when Jonas will get his next chance."
Jonas Urbig started as goalkeeper against PSV Eindhoven despite partial responsibility for the first goal in the Augsburg defeat. Vincent Kompany had planned during the December holiday for Urbig to receive two January appearances. Kompany judged the Augsburg game as an opportunity for a young player to take important steps forward. The club possesses strong depth at goalkeeper, enabling rotation. Manu will start the following game against HSV while staff decide future chances for Urbig. Urbig delivered numerous saves, limited PSV to one goal and claimed the Man of the Match award, demonstrating resilience.
