Bayern Munich Face Goalkeeping Nightmare Ahead of Atalanta Showdown
Sports Correspondent – FC Bayern Munich are dealing with a serious goalkeeping crisis ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League second-leg clash against Atalanta BC.
The German champions risk heading into the decisive European encounter without any of their senior goalkeepers after a series of injuries struck the squad.
Veteran goalkeeper Sven Ulreich suffered a muscle tear during Bayern’s recent match against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, adding to the club’s growing list of absentees. His injury means he joins first-choice shot stopper Manuel Neuer, who is already sidelined with an injury.
Bayern’s problems in goal have been worsened by the absence of young keeper Jonas Urbig, who is unavailable after suffering a concussion in the first leg of the tie against Atalanta.
To make matters worse for the Bavarian giants, even their youth options have been hit, with Under-19 goalkeeper Leon Klanac also ruled out through injury.
The unprecedented situation could force Bayern to turn to 16-year-old academy goalkeeper Leonard Prescott, who may be drafted into the squad for the high-stakes European fixture.
