Ulreich played on Saturday in Leverkusen for the first time since September 21, 2024. His brilliant performance allowed Bayern to secure a point in the 1-1 draw, despite finishing the match with nine players against eleven.

The goalkeeper felt discomfort at the end of the game, and tests conducted this Sunday in Munich revealed a “tear in the adductor muscle of the right thigh.”

Bayern Munich did not specify the duration of the goalkeeper's absence.

The problems for the German champions in goal continue. Last week, Manuel Neuer returned to the field against Borussia Mönchengladbach after suffering a left calf injury on February 21 against Eintracht Frankfurt, but had to be substituted at halftime by Jonas Urbig due to a recurrence of the injury.

Urbig suffered a concussion on Tuesday after a heavy blow to the head by Atalanta's forward Nikola Krstovic during the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Before the trip to Leverkusen, Bayern's coach, Vincent Kompany, had indicated that Manuel Neuer should return after the international break at the end of March, while Jonas Urbig's clearance to train would depend on a medical evaluation.

Kompany has few options for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday. Jannis Bartl, 19, the second goalkeeper of the B team in the Fourth Division of German football, or Leonard Prescott, 16, the starting goalkeeper of the under-19 team.

Bayern's sixth goalkeeper registered in the Champions League, Leon Klanac (19), the starter of the B team, is also injured and has been sidelined since early December.
