Bayern Munich is dealing with a major injury crisis ahead of their Champions League match against Atlético Madrid, with several players already sidelined, including Luis Diaz and Jamal Musiala. The situation worsened after their 2-2 draw against BVB, where more injuries were reported. Ismael Saibari suffered a torn syndesmotic ligament, and Serge Gnabry was diagnosed with a muscle injury. Michael Olise was also substituted due to an unspecified injury.

The club is also concerned about goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, who collided with Carney Chukwuemeka during the match against BVB, taking both knees to the face and appearing briefly dazed. Although he finished the match, he will undergo an examination due to the severity of the collision. According to BILD, Bayern is closely monitoring Urbig's condition for any signs of concussion.

If Urbig is sidelined due to the injury, and Manuel Neuer remains unavailable due to foot pain, Sven Ulreich is likely to start in goal against Atlético Madrid. Bayern is cautious about risking Urbig's health, and any sign of concussion would keep him out of the match. The club is conducting tests on Urbig to determine his availability without rushing to a decision.
