Good news from the hospital: FC Bayern can possibly fall back on one of his injured professionals earlier than feared.
Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig had already completed the first exercises on a side place on Säbener Strasse on Monday, reports “Bild”. The 22-year-old had suffered a muscle fiber tear in the adductors last week in training.
The report states that first of all, FC Bayern was assumed to be three weeks off. This period can now be shortened. Already in the top game at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (6:30 p.m.) Urbig can return to Bayern’s squad, it continues.
The Champions League trip to Cyprus to Paphos FC, where the second game of the Champions League league is on the program on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.), but comes too early for the former Cologne. There, 18-year-old Leon Klanac moves into the squad from his own U23. Should Platzhirsch Manuel Neuer fail, veteran Sven Ulreich will come into play.
Urbig is behind Neuer and in front of Ulreich the regular number two of FC Bayern. In the game in the second round of the DFB Cup against his ex-club 1. FC Köln on October 29, the youngster is to be used because Neuer is still closed last season after his red card from the lost round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen.
FC Bayern: Does Manuel Neuer get a break?
Before Urbig’s injury could be heard, the new should get a break and his backup again in one of the two English weeks earlier. It remains to be seen whether this plan can still be implemented.
