Jonas Urbig given ‘green light’ to start for Bayern Munich against Atalanta

According to Kerry Hau, Jonas Urbig will return for Bayern Munich tonight when they host Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League.

After last week’s clash between the two teams, Urbig had to be replaced after suffering concussion following a head collision with Nikola Kristovic. The 22-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital and would reportedly be sidelined for around 10 days.
