Bayern Munich is actively pursuing a special authorization to permit a sixteen-year-old goalkeeper to participate in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg match against Atalanta. This crucial game is slated for Wednesday evening at the ‘Allianz Arena’. Following a commanding 6-1 triumph in the initial encounter in Bergamo, the German club will now face the Italian side.
However, the team, under the leadership of Vincent Kompany, is currently confronting a significant problem within their goalkeeping position. Manuel Neuer is unavailable due to a muscle injury, and Jonas Urbig sustained a suspected head injury, effectively ruling him out of the 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. Thirty-seven-year-old Sven Ulreich was utilized as a substitute, but unfortunately, he too suffered a muscle tear.
The possibility of Manuel Neuer’s return still poses selection difficulties for Bayern. The club is striving to obtain the necessary documentation to allow the young goalkeeper to play. This situation highlights the considerable challenges facing the Bavarian giants as they prepare for this important match.
