Kompany changes against Gladbach: Urbig replaces Neuer in goal!
The football fever in Munich can hardly be contained at the moment! Bayern go into the upcoming duel against Borussia Mönchengladbach this season with an impressive record of 12 wins from 12 competitive games. This could bring AC Milan's record from the 1992/93 season of 13 wins in a row within reach. In this remarkable phase, coach Vincent Kompany's team not only has their goal difference at 43:12, but also their opponents firmly under control. Picture reports that the tension is rising because another victory would put Munich in the history books.
However, there will be a notable personnel change this weekend. Manuel Neuer, who has kept Bayern's goal in recent years, will have to sit out against Gladbach. The reason: A ban after a red card in the DFB Cup. His place between the posts is taken by Jonas Urbig, who immediately attracted attention after his move from the second Bundesliga team Cologne. The 21-year-old will also be between the goalposts in the upcoming DFB Cup game against 1. FC Köln. Bundesliga highlights that Urbig handles a lot of pressure well and should be familiarized overall after some outstanding performances.
A change in the starting line-up
In order to position himself in the best possible way against Borussia, Kompany has shuffled things around a lot and is changing six players from the starting eleven that played against Bruges in the Champions League. Players like Tah, Guerreiro, Laimer, Pavlovic, Karl and Neuer take their place on the bench for now. Instead, the new starting eleven will be led by Urbig, who will play alongside Boey, Kim, Upamecano, Kimmich, Bischof and Goretzka. They are joined by Olise, Jackson, Díaz and the reliable Kane on offense. The referee Sascha Stegemann will officiate the game.

Urbig's path to Bayern was not an easy one. He recently came from the second team of 1. FC Köln and has quickly proven himself in the Bundesliga and Champions League. After his convincing performance in the first leg against Bayer Leverkusen, where he kept a clean sheet, many woke up and recognized his potential. Despite a small slip-up in a previous game where he made a mistake against Union Berlin, his coach sees him as a great talent. Bundesliga reports that patience will be necessary with Urbig as he settles into his new role.
The upcoming game could be an exciting challenge for the young talent and the entire team. Will Bayern be able to continue their series against Gladbach? Stay tuned as it promises to be an exciting Saturday! Further information is available on Yahoo Sports.
