[p]The 37-year-old [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ulreich-sven/8CE8Sho8/"]Ulreich[/a] was injured ‌in their [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/bayer-leverkusen-4jcj2zMd/bayern-munich-nVp0wiqd/?mid=AqZxvfGl"]1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday[/a], picking ‌up an adductor muscle ⁠injury, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bayern-munich/nVp0wiqd/"]‌Bayern[/a] said in a statement.[/p][p]He had ​been called up for action after [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/urbig-jonas/6TJsuRSF/"]Urbig[/a]'s concussion ​in their midweek Champions League win over [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/atalanta/8C9JjMXu/"]Atalanta[/a] and amid ⁠the ongoing ​injury absence of first-choice [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/neuer-manuel/Sh5KwIo6/"]Neuer[/a].[/p][embed guid="ea0a36cc-8a25-43d4-a483-aaf4c89b6332" url="https://x.com/FCBayernEN/status/2033165641981546627" social-type="twitter" /][p]Teenager [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/prescott-leonard/2LljCcD8/"]Leonard Prescott[/a] was on the bench on Saturday as he ‌was on Tuesday in Italy, and the 16-year-old could potentially earn a start for Wednesday's return leg against Atalanta, with Bayern carrying a 6-1 win from the first leg. Other options are keepers ‌from the reserve team.[/p][p]Neuer ​is working towards a comeback ‌from a muscle injury, but is unlikely to be fit for Wednesday in Munich. Urbig is expected to ⁠come back ⁠next week.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/atalanta-8C9JjMXu/bayern-munich-nVp0wiqd/?mid=AaIWYPo1"]Follow Bayern's next match in the Champions League here.[/a][/b][/p]
