Germany Replaces Injured Jonas Urbig With Finn Dahmen

Bayern Munich now has fewer fit goalkeepers pending tests on the 22-year-old’s knee.

Overview

  • DFB officials confirmed Thursday that Jonas Urbig sustained a capsular injury to his right knee in training and left the Germany camp.
  • He will miss the friendly matches against Switzerland and Ghana, and Finn Dahmen has been called up to fill the vacancy.
  • Dahmen is expected to reach the team hotel in Basel later Thursday, according to the federation.
  • The setback cancels what would have been Urbig’s first senior Germany call-up, which slows his rise after recent chances at Bayern.
  • Medical evaluations will determine how long he is out, a key question for Bayern’s thin goalkeeping group after recent issues for Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich and recent reliance on academy cover under UEFA roster limits.
