Musiala, for his part, is suffering from “pain in his left ankle, which he injured in the summer,” the club announced. Therefore, he should be able to return to team training soon. Musiala is still in the recovery phase after suffering a serious fibula fracture in the summer, which also affected all the ligaments.
Goalkeeper Urbig suffered a concussion late in the match and in Munich’s only goal. The 22-year-old collided heavily with Atalanta’s Nikola Krstovic before Mario Pasalic scored the rebound to make it 2-1. Sports director Max Eberl later explained that Urbig was “a little dazed” and “now of course he has a huge headache.”
Sven Ulreich is expected to make his season debut this Saturday. In addition to Urbig, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has also been out since last week due to a muscle fiber tear. On the bench could be 16-year-old goalkeeper Leonard Prescott, who was in the Bayern squad for the first time in Bergamo. For Ulreich, who waited a long time for a contract extension and then suffered a stroke of bad luck, it would be his first official game for Bayern since September 21, 2024. At that time he was the goalkeeper in Bayern’s 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen.
