MUNICH, GERMANY - MARCH 17: Leonard Prescott of FC Bayern München warms-up next to his team mate Manuel Neuer during a training session at Bayern Munich trainings Ground Saebener Strasse prior their UEFA Champions League 2025/26 round of 16 second leg match on March 17, 2026 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images) | Getty Images Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany is in a weird position — his top four goalkeepers are all injured. While Jonas Urbig might be ready to face Atalanta on Wednesday, Kompany seems pretty confident that the team would do well if he needed to give 16-year-old Leonard Prescott the start.
“(Prescott) is very calm. If he has to play tomorrow, he will get full support and backing from us. We have many good players who will help him.
And there will never be a young player here who is under pressure. No matter what happens: We have complete confidence in him,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). “I’m happy that Manu is back in team training and that Jonas trained normally.
But the decision will purely be a medical one. If things go as expected, Jonas will start. Otherwise we’ll have to find another solution.
