What's Happening
FC Bayern München announced that goalkeeper Jonas Urbig has been diagnosed with a concussion and will be unavailable for upcoming matches against Bayer Leverkusen, Union Berlin, and the Champions League return leg against Atalanta Bergamo.
How We Got Here
The sequence began on March 6 when Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered a minor muscle fiber tear in his left calf during a Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Later that day, the club's Board Member for Sport, Max Eberl, said he could imagine that Neuer was not happy about suffering another injury setback. Eberl's role as Sportvorstand is separate from Sporting Director Christoph Freund. With Neuer sidelined, attention turned to goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who had played the second half against Mönchengladbach. On March 7, Urbig was expected to start for Bayern Munich in their Champions League match against Atalanta Bergamo, stepping into a key role for the European fixture. The situation escalated on March 11 when FC Bayern München announced that Urbig has been diagnosed with a concussion. The club said he will be unavailable for upcoming matches against Bayer Leverkusen, Union Berlin, and the Champions League return leg against Atalanta Bergamo, compounding the team's goalkeeping concerns.
