Bayern Munich is seeking a special permit to allow a player to participate against Atalanta. Football Gazette Express reported this development on March 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The German club is actively working to obtain a specific license, permitting a 16-year-old goalkeeper to play in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg match scheduled for Wednesday evening.
This crucial game sees Bayern competing against Atalanta at the Allianz Arena. Following a commanding 6-1 victory in the first game played in Bergamo, Bayern faces a significant challenge. The team, currently managed by Vincent Kompany, is currently experiencing a major crisis within its goalkeeping position.
Key figures, including Manuel Neuer who is injured with muscle problems, and Jonas Urbig who suffered a suspected concussion, are unavailable. Thirty-seven-year-old Sven Ulreich also substituted but sustained an adductor muscle tear. Leon Klanac remains a potential option.
The acquisition of this special permit is vital for Bayern’s competitive strategy.
