No goalie for FC Bayern.

Three goalkeepers are already injured and Neuer is still on vacation.

Nagelsmann relies on an emergency solution.

Munich - FC Bayern Munich * is in the middle of preparing for the new season.

Coach Julian Nagelsmann * still has to do without the stars in training, the EM drivers have vacation until the end of July.

For this reason, some of the young professionals were brought up to ensure adequate training for the remaining professionals.

But in one position there is a lot of hooking and stuttering at the training area on Säbener Straße *.

Bayern run out of goalkeepers.

Not a good start for Nagelsmann, who only started work last week.

FC Bayern: goalkeeper unlucky with injuries - Nagelsmann conjures no-name out of the hat

That too! Now Johannes Schenk has also been hit. Three out of six goalkeepers at Bayern are injured. The 18-year-old goalkeeper sustained a hand injury during training and will probably be out for several weeks. Jojo joined the Bayern youth team in 2017 from Nuremberg and last played for the U19s. This season he was scheduled as a regular goalkeeper for the second team in the Regionalliga Bayern. Schenk only signed a contract until 2024 in February and was last able to prove himself in training with the professionals.

In addition to Schenk, Christian Früchtl and Lukas Schneller are already out.

Früchtl is missing longer with a broken collarbone.

The 21-year-old spent the past season on loan at 1. FC Nürnberg without making a single appearance.

Faster is suffering from a foot injury and will also be absent for a few weeks.

Jakob Mayer therefore completes the goalkeeping trio around returnees Sven Ullreich and Ron-Thorben Hoffmann * in training.

The 19-year-old, who has played in the Bayern youth team since 2013 and was awarded to TSV 1860 Rosenheim last season, is only considered an emergency solution.

Bayern goalkeepers - new one is still on vacation

With Ullreich, the important substitute for captain Manuel Neuer * was signed. The number two Alexander Nübel was allowed to leave the club and switched to AS Monaco on loan to gain match practice. Hoffmann is planned as the third goalkeeper. Since Neuer is not expected to return from vacation until July 31st due to the European Championship, Hoffmann's dream of the Olympics fell through. He is needed in Munich.

The problem: Hoffmann is now also needed for the second team, as all other goalkeepers who could potentially be considered are out due to injuries.

The reserve of the German record champions starts the season on Saturday with the derby against FC Augsburg II.

The 22-year-old should possibly train with the regional league team one time or the other, but that would mean he would be missing from the professionals.

In plain language: Nagelsmann would only have one professional goalkeeper with Ullreich.

Not good prerequisites for optimal preparation.

One can only hope that Neuer will return safely from his vacation.

In the past few days, the FCB captain has often been seen mountain biking and hiking *.
