Will Neuer be benched? Bayern makes a decision on the goalkeeper
Story updated
The story in brief
32-second readA change in goal is on the horizon at FC Bayern. Following the disappointing 2-2 draw against FC Augsburg, Manuel Neuer is set to be rested for the upcoming Champions League match against Viking Stavanger.
Instead, Jonas Urbig will apparently take his place between the posts. However, this does not signal a permanent change in the starting lineup. As reported by the Abendzeitung München , the 23-year-old will be in the starting lineup on Tuesday evening in Norway.
For Urbig, it would be his third competitive appearance of the current season. The decision comes at a sensitive time. After all, Neuer made a costly mistake against Augsburg on Saturday, leading to the fastest goal conceded in Bundesliga history.
