Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is struggling with a foot issue following Saturday's 2-2 draw against Augsburg, according to head coach Vincent Kompany. As a result, Jonas Urbig is set to start in goal for the German champions when they face Norwegian side Viking FK in the Champions League on Tuesday. Kompany revealed that Neuer couldn't train on both Saturday and Sunday, making it unlikely for him to play in the upcoming match.
The club is taking no risks with Neuer's condition, as they await further updates on his recovery. Urbig, who made 20 appearances last season and recently made his senior debut for Germany, will have the opportunity to cement his place in the Bayern lineup. The club will also be without midfielder Jamal Musiala, who is sidelined with a thigh injury.
