Without Neuer and Urbig, Kompany names Bayern’s starting keeper

Bayern Munich will have Sven Ulreich as the starting goalkeeper for the upcoming decisive matches of the season. The decision was confirmed by coach Vincent Kompany following new physical complications for Manuel Neuer and the absence of Jonas Urbig, who suffered a concussion.

Physical problems change the scenario

The team captain, Neuer, felt his left calf again and continues with individual treatment, without an immediate return to field training. Urbig, the immediate backup, was sidelined after suffering a concussion in the match against Atalanta in the Champions League.

Given the situation, Ulreich has become the main option for the Bavarian goal in the short term. “He is an experienced, stable goalkeeper and always trains well. The issue is not who plays in goal, but the team's performance,” he said.

Caution with the idol

Kompany stated that the club does not intend to take risks with Neuer at this point in the season. “We don't want to pressure him,” summarized the coach, explaining the caution with the return of the starter.
