Young Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig to Start for Bayern Munich in Key Matches

With Manuel Neuer sidelined by injury, 21-year-old Jonas Urbig is set to make his Bundesliga and Champions League starts under Vincent Kompany's confidence.

Manuel Neuer is out with a calf injury, leaving Jonas Urbig as Bayern's starting goalkeeper for upcoming matches, including the Bundesliga game against Bochum and the Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen.
Urbig, a 21-year-old U21 national team player, joined Bayern from 1. FC Köln in January and has shown promise despite limited recent match experience.
Vincent Kompany, Bayern's coach, has expressed full confidence in Urbig, emphasizing the importance of trust and reducing pressure on the young player.
Urbig made his debut in the Champions League during Bayern's 3-0 win over Leverkusen, stepping in for Neuer in the final 30 minutes and earning praise from teammates and staff.
Critics, including Lothar Matthäus, have raised concerns about Urbig's lack of experience, suggesting it could be a weakness for Bayern in high-stakes matches.
