Bayern Munich Faces Goalkeeper Crisis After Ulreich Injury
Bayern Munich is experiencing a goalkeeper shortage following an injury to Sven Ulreich, who is now on the injury list alongside first-choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and third-choice Jona Urbig. The 37-year-old Ulreich suffered an adductor muscle injury during a match against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.
Bayern Munich confirmed this injury in a statement. Jona Urbig is also sidelined due to a concussion sustained during a midweek Champions League victory against Atalanta.
With Neuer still recovering from a muscle injury and unlikely to be fit for the return leg against Atalanta on Wednesday, Bayern is left with 16-year-old Leonard Prescott as a potential starter. Bayern had a strong first leg, winning 6-1, but the current injury situation poses a significant challenge for the team as they prepare for the crucial match.
