Jonas Urbig has had an unusual year. He’s gone from rotating at keeper for FC. Köln in the 2.
Bundesliga to starring for Bayern Munich in the top flight — courtesy of an injury setback to Manuel Neuer and a winter transfer that may have been hastened in part by Bayern’s depth questions at the position. That — plus a number of high-profile errors that left him with very little to do on his conceded goals — has left him with a dubious distinction , but one which does not tell nearly the whole story..

it’s not great but as any Bayern fans know, the entire team has been through it in recent weeks. It’s not every day you wind up down your top two left-backs either. Injuries to Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Itō, and Dayot Upamecano.
..the remaining top center-back Kim Min-jae having been run into the ground and barely standing.
..it has all been a perfect storm, and that’s to say nothing of a brand new keeper still feeling his way in the team, thrust into the spotlight far earlier than expected when he is only slated for a developmental role next season.
So let’s cut Jonas some slack and cheer him on. A goalkeeper needs his confidence. Looking for more thought and analysis on Bayern Munich ’s Bundesliga tilt with Heidenheim? Awesome, then we have you covered with the Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show.
