    Champions League: Bayern Look To 16-year-old Prescott To Ease Goalkeeper Shortage

    By IANS News March 17, 2026 • 22:44 PM View: 600
    UEFA Champions League: Bayern Munich's goalkeeping situation appears to be easing ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League last-16 second leg against Atalanta. While Manuel Neuer and Bayern's third-choice goalkeeper Sven Ulreich remain sidelined through injury, the door appears to be reopening for Jonas Urbig.

    The 22-year-old resumed light training Monday after suffering a concussion last week as the reigning German champion crushed Bergamo 6-1. Bayern must follow a strict recovery protocol for head injuries, and a final decision on Urbig is expected shortly before kickoff, pending approval from the club's medical staff.

    In the meantime, Bayern's 16-year-old U-19 goalkeeper Leonard Prescott has moved into the spotlight as a possible replacement. The youngster could either sit on the bench or set a record as Bayern's youngest goalkeeper to play since 1963 at the age of 16 years and 176 days, reports Xinhua.
