New Headline: "Clash Escalates as Bayern Sue Prescot for Championship Final Foul!
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Leonard Prescott warms up before the Bundesliga soccer match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Bayern Munich at BayArena. Bahho Kara/Kirchner-Media/dpa Bayern Munich may be forced to play fifth-choice keeper Leonard Prescott, 16, in their Champions League second leg against Atalanta on Wednesday - and are lucky the game is unlikely to go to extra-time. Bayern are 6-1 up from the last 16 first leg in Italy so the chances of the game going beyond 11 pm (2200 GMT) are minimal.
That is fortunate for Bayern given German employment law says a 16-year-old cannot work later than that time. US-born Prescott may be called into action because Manuel Neuer, Jonas Urbig, Sven Ulreich and Leon Klanac are all injured. Jonas has concussion from the first leg but might be fit for Wednesday.
Ulreich played his first game in a year and a half in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen and excelled, before tearing a muscle. If Urbig is ready to play, Prescott is set to be on the bench for the third straight game. This would still count as employment and could lead to Bayern being fined for breaking child labour laws if the late kick-off went to extra-time.
