Starting against Atalanta Urbig (head) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Atalanta.

Impact Urbig has recovered from his concussion in time after some late testing ahead of Wednesday's match, starting in net immediately after the goalie scare. He should remain as the starter until Manuel Neuer (calf) is back fit, as the club is still with two injured keepers, leaving Leonard Prescott as the backup for now.

Impact Urbig is trending towards being an option Wednesday in a huge boost for his club, as they are currently heading into the contest without a single fit first-team keeper. That said, if he is fit enough and passes his testing, he will be chosen for the starting XI. However, if he is left out, the club will be forced into a major change, with Leonard Prescorr or Jannis Bartl possibly earning their first-team debut in UCL play.

Decision to be made Monday Urbig (head) is set for assessment Monday, and a decision will be made if he can play Wednesday against Atalanta, according to Philipp Kessler of tz.de.

Impact Urbig is going to need some testing Monday after a concussion last week, needing to pass protocol to find himself available for Wednesday. This is huge news in the Bavarian camp, as with Sven Ulreich (adductor) out for the time being and Manuel Neuer (calf) likely to miss another match, Urbig looks to be the only first team keeper still available for play. However, if the goalie is left out, the club will be happy to have a major lead, likely leaning on 16-year-old Leonard Prescott or 19-year-old Jannis Bartl to start in net.

Picks up concussion Urbig (head) has entered concussion protocol and will at least miss one match, according to his club.

Impact Urbig came off the field Tuesday with a head injury, and after testing, it has been confirmed that he suffered a concussion. Unfortunately, this will make him enter protocol and likely miss at least one match, potentially missing the return fixture against Atalanta deepening on recovery. The club is now without Manuel Neuer and Urbig due to injury, likely to turn to Sven Ulreich to start.

Impact Urbig suffered a head collision with an opponent late during Tuesday's Champions League win against Atalanta, leaving the pitch with a headache after receiving medical attention. That's a tough break for Bayern since the keeper could now fall under concussion protocols, and early reports already indicate he may not be available for Saturday's showdown with Leverkusen. The timing could hardly be worse, as Manuel Neuer (calf) is already sidelined with an injury, which would likely push third-choice goalkeeper Sven Ulreich into the starting XI against the Werkself if Urbig is ruled out.

Concedes one off bench Urbig had three saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 4-1 win against Monchengladbach.

Impact Urbig would need to enter at halftime of Friday's match after an injury to Manuel Neuer, allowing one goal in his time on the field. This will be something to watch moving forward, especially with UCL play coming up, potentially forced to start the next few games. They face Atalanta on Tuesday, appearing likely to start the contest.

No saves in win over BVB Urbig allowed two goals without making a save during Saturday's 3-2 win over Dortmund.

Impact Urbig allowed a goal in each half but was backed with three second half goals as Bayern came away with all three points. The keeper has allowed four goals while combining for four saves over his last three appearances as he fills in for the injured Manuel Neuer. Urbig and Bayern have a home clash with Gladbach on Friday.

Manuel Neuer targets sensational return for Borussia Dortmund clash despite Bayern Munich ruling injured goalkeeper out of headline showdown

Only one save Urbig registered one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Urbig got the win during Saturday's clash, but it's hard to say that win was because of him. He stopped just one of the three shots he faced while his team gave him three goals of support. That sort of offensive support meant Urbig had some freedom despite a mediocre overall showing.

Three saves in halftime appearance Urbig made three saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 3-0 win against Werder Bremen.

Impact After Manuel Neuer was withdrawn at halftime with a precautionary concern, Jonas Urbig stepped in and handled the busier half, as all three shots on target came after the break, and he managed to save all of them. The goalkeeper could feature against Eintracht Frankfurt next Saturday, though it remains to be seen whether coach Vincent Kompany will use him to preserve a fully fit Neuer for the important Der Klassiker against their title rivals Broussia Dortmund the following week or hand the veteran goalkeeper the start again.

Six saves in win Urbig recorded six saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus PSV Eindhoven.

Impact Urbig repelled six of seven PSV Eindhoven shots on goal Wednesday as Bayern Munich earned a narrow 2-1 road victory. Providing respite for veteran Manuel Neuer, the Bavarians' second-choice keeper has conceded three goals and made 10 saves across their last two matches. Look for Urbig to retreat to the bench and Neuer to return to the starting XI Saturday when Bayern Munich travel to tussle with Hamburger SV.

Four saves, two goals conceded Urbig made four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to FC Augsburg.

Impact Before the Augsburg-Bayern game, each of Urbig's appearances included a clean sheet. Even though the goalkeeper updated his season-high in saves Saturday, he conceded multiple goals, which were enough for Augsburg to log an upset win. Manuel Neuer will get back to being Bayern's starting goalkeeper, and Urbig is going to have to wait for another chance in goal, likely for a game the team deems relatively easier to win without their top GK. The latter has six saves and three clean sheets in four appearances this season.
