“A decision will be made either after today’s final training or tomorrow,” stated Bayern Munich’s coaching staff regarding Jonas Urbig’s status for the upcoming match against Atalanta.
Urbig has resumed training following a head injury sustained during a previous encounter with Atalanta, where he experienced discomfort after aerial maneuvers. The incident required him to be taken to the hospital immediately after the match due to a head collision with Nikola Kristovic.
After suffering a concussion, Urbig was sidelined for approximately 10 days. His clearance to play hinges on a symptom-free training session and an examination by a neurological consultant.
As Bayern Munich grapples with injuries to key players, including Manuel Neuer, who is dealing with a muscle tear, and Sven Ulreich, Urbig’s return could be crucial. Leonard Prescott, a 16-year-old goalkeeper who recently joined Bayern from the Union Berlin academy, is being considered as a potential substitute.
Prescott has already represented Germany at the U17 level and would become Bayern’s second-youngest player behind Paul Wanner if called upon.
Urbig’s situation remains fluid, and the coaching staff is closely monitoring his progress. Details remain unconfirmed regarding his final status for the match against Atalanta.
