"Bayern Munich are embarking on a difficult run of fixtures. After having faced Arsenal FC in the Champions League, they will face Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal, high flying Stuttgart in the Bundesliga and Sporting Lisbon, 8th in the Champions league table after five matchdays. Head coach Vincent Kompany has preferred to play captain Manuel Neuer in the more obviously difficult matches, so some assumed that Jonas Urbig would play against St. Pauli, who had lost eight games in a row,"
""Manu will be back in goal. We didn't have any discussions about a cup keeper," he explained, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. "We'll see when we can give Jonas minutes, both of them are aware of that. I don't have a calendar for that, it's about the feeling. We want to continue to push forward Jonas' integration - and at the moment we're happy with him.""
"Urbig has only played three of 20 possible matches so far this season, mainly because Neuer was suspended for the first two Pokal matches. Unless Kompany manages to give Urbig game time soon, the spoken desire to push forward his integration will remain empty words.

Bayern Munich face a demanding sequence of fixtures including Arsenal, Union Berlin (DFB-Pokal), Stuttgart (Bundesliga) and Sporting Lisbon. Vincent Kompany has shown a preference for captain Manuel Neuer in the tougher matches and started Neuer against St. Pauli, confirming Neuer will start against Union Berlin. Kompany said there were no discussions about a designated cup keeper and that Jonas Urbig's integration will be guided by feeling rather than a fixed calendar. Urbig has only played three of 20 possible matches this season, so tangible game time is required to progress his integration.
