Bayern running out of keepers after Ulreich injury

Update: 2026-03-16 00:20 GMT

Bayern Munich are 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 their 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 their 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 toward a comeback from a muscle injury but is unlikely to ⁠be fit for Wednesday in Munich. Urbig is expected to come back next week.
