Jonas Urbig is set to start Bayern Munich’s Champions League round-of-16 second-leg clash with Atalanta on Wednesday, according to Sky Germany.

The 22-year-old missed Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend after suffering a concussion in the first-leg 6-1 win over Atalanta last week.

After Urbig's return to training on Monday, it was uncertain for a time whether he would be fit to start, with 16-year-old Leonard Prescott named as an alternative.

However, Urbig has now been given the green light to play by the medical team and is expected to start, with Prescott set to take a place on the bench.

Bayern’s other three senior goalkeepers – Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulreich, and Leon Klanac – remain sidelined with injuries.
