Overview

• FC Bayern said Urbig suffered an adductor muscle-fiber tear in training, with the diagnosis confirmed by the club’s medical department.
• Munich provided no timeline for his recovery, while German reports suggest the layoff could last several weeks, with Bild indicating roughly three.
• Urbig had been the clear No. 2 behind Manuel Neuer and was lined up to start the second-round DFB-Pokal tie at Köln due to Neuer’s suspension.
• With Urbig out, Bild reports Sven Ulreich will serve as Neuer’s deputy during a busy stretch that includes Werder Bremen, Paphos FC and Eintracht Frankfurt.
• The setback adds to availability issues that already include Josip Stanisic and Minjae Kim, with long-term absences for Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito.
