Knee to the Face: Will Bayern Goalkeeper Urbig Be Sidelined Too?

FC Bayern Munich is currently dealing with a major injury crisis. Several players are sidelined and will not be available for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Atlético Madrid. Now the record champions are also worried about Jonas Urbig. 

It was already clear that Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala wouldn’t be able to play against the top Spanish club. However , more injurieswere addedduring Saturday’s 2-2 draw against BVB in the Bundesliga’s top match . 

Ismael Saibari will be sidelined for an extended period due to a torn syndesmotic ligament and will be out for several months. Serge Gnabry was diagnosed with a muscle injury that will also keep him sidelined. Michael Olise was also substituted shortly before the end of the match, though the extent of his injury is not yet known.

FC Bayern: Goalkeeper Woes Ahead of the Match at Atlético?

And now there’s a threat of even more personnel shortages! According to BILD, Manuel Neuer—who was recently unable to play due to pain in his foot—is also likely to remain sidelined for the match against the Spanish side. He is not expected to return to goal until he is fully fit and there is no risk involved.

There are also concerns in Munich about Jonas Urbig. He collided with Carney Chukwuemeka, took both of the Dortmund player’s knees to the face, and appeared briefly dazed. Although he was able to finish the match, he will still undergo an examination.

According to BILD, Bayern is not taking the collision lightly at all. They are closely monitoring whether Urbig develops any further issues afterward. At the slightest sign of a concussion, caution is advised, and Urbig will not be taken to Madrid. Any risk must be avoided at all costs.

So if both Urbig and Neuer are sidelined, the experienced Sven Ulreich would start in goal against the Spanish team at the Metropolitano. However, there is still time to conduct tests on Urbig without rushing and to wait and see how his situation develops.
