Vincent Kompany addresses Bayern's goalkeeping options ahead of Atalanta clash | OneFootball

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has provided an update on his goalkeeping situation ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League round of 16 second leg against Atalanta at the Allianz Arena.

First-choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is making progress in his recovery from a muscle fiber tear, but is not ready to play yet.

But second-choice Jonas Urbig, who suffered a concussion in Bayern’s 6-1 first-leg win against the Italians and missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, is expected to return, Kompany revealed on Tuesday afternoon.

“I wasn't surprised that Manuel Neuer was back [in training] but pleased: that he's there again, that Jonas Urbig is training again. But the decision will be a purely medical one. If everything goes as expected, Urbig will start in goal. And if not, we'll find another solution,” Kompany said at a press conference.

With third-choice Sven Ulreich and fourth-choice Leon Klanac also sidelined, Kompany confirmed that 16-year-old Leonard Prescott will make his debut if Urbig isn’t deemed fit enough to start.

“He's quite calm,” Kompany said of Prescott. 

"But I have to say, when I look at a young player like him, it's the opposite end of the scale to Sven Ulreich. But we're a very calm staff overall. If he must play, he'll have our full support and backing. 

"We have a lot of good players who will then help him. There'll never be a young player here who's given a leading role. Regardless of what happens, we have full faith."
