Jonas Urbig started in goal for Bayern Munich's 3-o win at Borussia Mönchengladbach over the weekend in what was only the keeper's second match of the season for the German Rekordmeister. Manuel Neuer was fit and available, but the idea from Vincent Kompany and his coaching staff was to give Urbig minutes ahead of the midweek DFB-Pokal clash against FC Köln since Neuer will be serving a red card suspension for that match from the straight red he was shown in last season's round of 16 loss to Bayer Leverkusen.

FC Bayern will be without Jonas Urbig for the time being . The goalkeeper suffered a torn adductor muscle fiber during training with the German record champions, according to an examination by FC Bayern's medical department. Urbig's playing time has been limited - as expected. However, the goalkeeper is expected to start on October 29th in the DFB-Pokal vs. FC Köln. As it stands, Urbig likely will not be out that long, but it is a situation worth monitoring given that Manuel Neuer is suspended for that match.
