After the Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen, the record champions are now also worried about Sven Ulreich
FC Bayern could have another goalkeeping problem ahead of the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. Sven Ulreich apparently suffered an injury in the 1-1 Bundesliga draw with Bayer Leverkusen
The 37-year-old stood between the posts for the entire match at the BayArena, but appeared to be ailing in the closing stages. On several occasions, Ulreich was unable to make his own saves, but gritted his teeth and saw the game through to the end
After the final whistle, the veteran confirmed that he had felt problems during the game. „I felt something in my thigh. I hope it’s nothing serious,“ Ulreich told DAZN
Bayern are running out of goalkeepers
Should the keeper’s injury turn out to be more serious, the already tense goalkeeping situation at FC Bayern would be further exacerbated
Manuel Neuer is still out with a torn muscle fibre in his calf. Jonas Urbig is also currently unavailable. The 21-year-old is suffering from concussion after his collision with Atalanta striker Nikola Kristovic. It is still unclear whether he will be fit in time for the Champions League match on Wednesday
In the worst-case scenario, the Munich team are facing an unusual scenario
16-year-old Prescott as a possible emergency solution
If both Ulreich and Urbig are ruled out, a 16-year-old could suddenly step into the limelight: Leonard Prescott
The young keeper was recently on the substitutes‘ bench for the Champions League match against Atalanta Bergamo and the Bundesliga clash in Leverkusen
The teenager is regarded as a great goalkeeping talent at the Bayern campus and if the situation continues to deteriorate, Prescott could even become an emergency solution in goal for the record champions in the second leg of the Premier League.
