Bundesliga 2025-26: Bayern left in goalkeeper crisis after Ulreich suffers injury

by

Bayern Munich is running out ​of fit goalkeepers after third-choice keeper Sven Ulreich joined ​Manuel Neuer and ⁠Jonas Urbig on the injury list, the club said on Sunday.

The ‌37-year-old Ulreich was injured in its 1-1 draw ‌at Bayer Leverkusen on ‌Saturday, ⁠picking up an adductor ⁠muscle injury, Bayern said in a statement.

He had been called up ​for action ‌after Urbig’s concussion in its midweek Champions League win over Atalanta and amid the ‌ongoing injury absence of first-choice ​Neuer.

Teenager Leonard Prescott was on the bench ⁠on Saturday as he was on Tuesday in Italy, and ‌the 16-year-old could potentially earn a start for Wednesday’s return leg against Atalanta, with Bayern carrying a 6-1 win from the first ‌leg. Other options are keepers from ​the reserve team.

Neuer is working towards a comeback ⁠from a muscle injury but ⁠is unlikely to be fit for Wednesday in ‌Munich. Urbig is expected to come back next week.
