"Now, per information from Sky Germany, Neuer is expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks (via @iMiaSanMia). During his three-week absence, Neuer will miss matches against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund, and potentially even the matches against Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen. Jonas Urbig will stand firm in Neuer's absence, which there can be reassurance with given how solid he has performed when he's been called upon by Kompany."
"So far this season, Urbig has made a total of eight appearances across all competitions. From those eight matches, seven of them were wins, and only one was a loss; the shock 2-1 home loss to FC Augsburg. Additionally, from those other seven appearances that were wins, Urbig recorded four clean sheets, including the 45 minute shift this past weekend at Werder Bremen. To say the least, Bayern's keeper situation is in good hands in Neuer's absence, pun intended."
Manuel Neuer tore a muscle fiber in his left calf and will be sidelined for at least three weeks following medical examination. Neuer will likely miss Bundesliga fixtures including Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund and possibly matches against Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen. Jonas Urbig will start in goal during Neuer's recovery. Urbig has made eight appearances this season, producing seven wins, one loss to FC Augsburg, and four clean sheets, including a 45-minute shift at Werder Bremen. Vincent Kompany had treated Urbig's Bremen entry as a precaution. Bayern's goalkeeping depth appears secure during Neuer's absence.
