Urbig working on his comeback: latest on the Bayern goalkeeper’s recovery

Jonas Urbig is working step by step on his return to team training after his injury. The FC Bayern goalkeeper is making slow progress.

The 22-year-old has still not completed a full session with the team. Instead, as reported by BILD, he had a 30-minute goalkeeper session with Michael Rechner on Thursday morning, followed by another 15 minutes under the guidance of rehab coach Benjamin Sommer. His participation in the game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday remains doubtful. Urbig suffered a muscle fiber tear in the adductor region just over a week ago.

Head coach Vincent Kompany emphasized a week ago: “If everything goes well, he can return in the game against Frankfurt. But that would be extremely positive. I don't want to put pressure on the medical department. He will be back after the international break. He is a fighter.” The schedule suggests a return after the break – the home game against Borussia Dortmund is on October 18.

Ulreich planned as Neuer's deputy

Until then, Sven Ulreich will resume the role as backup goalkeeper behind Manuel Neuer. “Sven Ulreich will now take on the role of number two, that's clear,” Kompany stated. Urbig had established himself as Neuer's main deputy during the summer preparation, but now he must be patient.

With Urbig's absence, Leon Klanac, another young goalkeeper, temporarily moves closer to the professional squad. The 18-year-old could be part of the matchday squad for the first time in the event of a continued absence – at least as a backup on call.

There are also personnel shortages beyond the goalkeeper issue. In addition to Urbig, three defenders, Josip Stanisic, Hiroki Ito, and Alphonso Davies, are also out. Raphael Guerreiro and Minjae Kim were recently injured. However, both players are available again and could be options for the weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt.
