ROTTACH-EGERN, GERMANY - JULY 28: Manuel Neuer, keeper of FC Bayern Mnchen looks on next to his team mate Jonas Urbig during a FC Bayern Mnchen training session during the summer training camp at Stadion am Birkenmoos on July 28, 2026 in Rottach-Egern, Germany.

That rubbed fans the wrong way, especially after Neuer denied Oliver Baumann a World Cup debut last month, but it looks like Neuer might actually be okay with giving Urbig more minutes.Bayerns plan for Jonas Urbig this season is not only to replace Neuer when the latter is injured or needs a break, but also to feature in important matches so he can get used to the pressure of being the clubs future number one. Neuer is not opposed to that and will support Urbig. Sport Bilds Julian Agardi and Christian Falk as captured by X account @iMiaSanMiaMaybe what Neuer said was blown out of proportion, because he did mention that the goalkeepers will maintain status quo for 2026/27. That means the goalkeepers will still be sharing minutes.Join the conversation!Sign up for a user accountand get:New, improved notifications system!Fewer adsCreatecommunity postsComment on articles, community postsRec comments, community posts
