Bayern Munich have an emergency situation with their goalkeepers ahead of the 1/8 final match of the UEFA Champions League against Atalanti. Munich head coach Vincent Kompany may be without three main goalkeepers.

Main goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and reserve goalkeeper Sven Ulreich are recovering from injury, while Jonas Urbig is still recovering from a stroke.. In this way, the coaching staff can get rid of the three goalkeepers of the first team before the game with the Italian club.

The situation worsened after Ulreich's injury became known. The 37-year-old goalkeeper recovered from a tear in his right ankle muscle during the match of the German Championship against Bayer Leverkusen, which ended in a 1:1 draw. Through ts vin vibuv on an unimportant hour.

Neuer and Ulreich will definitely not play the next match, while Urbig’s fate is still suspended under nutrition. If you don't realize it, the place at the goal can be taken away by one of the club's young goalkeepers.

The most obvious candidate is 16-year-old Leonard Prescott, who will be with the team in the remaining match against Bayer. If you play against Atalanti, you will become the youngest goalkeeper in the history of Bayern and the youngest footballer for the club after Paul Wanner.

Prescott was born in New York, but plays for the national team of Germany until 17 years ago and has already played six matches in his warehouse. During the current season, he plays for the Bayern U-19 team and is a participant in the first match of the match against Atalanta.

Another option for the Company could be 19-year-old Yannis Berl. The goalkeeper regularly plays for the reserve team of the club in the Regionallise - the fourth division of German football. Since then, the rock has played 11 matches, in which it conceded 11 goals and even kept a clean sheet at least once..

Although Berl is also looking forward to performing on the biggest level, his regular practice in adult football can be an argument for his worth. Last month, having already lost Bayern's bid for the first team's match, Munich beat Borussia Dortmund with a 3:2 score..

Given the personnel difficulties, the situation in Bavaria looks comfortable for the rest of the time. After the first match, the team has a 6:1 advantage, so the odds for the young goalkeeper who can take the field against Atalanti do not look too high.
