"Bayern" may face "Atalanta" in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 with a 16-year-old goalkeeper. This was reported by the "AR" portal, according to Sport24.az.
Manuel Neuer, Bayern's main goalkeeper and captain, is suffering from a torn calf muscle. Jonas Urbig suffered a concussion in the first leg against Atalanta (6-1).
In addition, Sven Ulreich tore his adductor muscle in the Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen (1:1).
According to the source, if none of these goalkeepers return to the lineup by March 18, 16-year-old Leonard Prescott, who has been on the bench for the last two games, may appear in the starting lineup. Prescott, born in New York, began his career at Union Berlin and moved to Bayern's academy in 2023.
