The head coach of Munich's "Bayern" club, Vincent Kompany, revealed whether he will allow the 16-year-old goalkeeper Leonardo Prescott to take the field in the Champions League match against Bergamo's "Atalanta":

"If everything goes according to plan, then Jonas Urbigas will play in the goalkeeper position in these matches.

If not, then we will look for another solution.

The good news is that Manuel Neuer is already training with the Bavarians."

"L. Prescott is quite calm. But I have to say that when I look at such a young player like him, he is a contrasting player compared to Sven Ulreich.

But we are a calm team. If he has to play, we will fully support and back him.

We have many good players who will help L. Prescott. Here, we will never have a young player given a leading role.

No matter what happens, we all completely trust him."

Currently, three "Bayern" club goalkeepers are not in the best condition, which raised questions about Leonardo Prescott.

The Munich "Bayern" team won their first match in Bergamo with a score of 6:1.
