Kompany on Urbig's debut against Leverkusen: "There are easier games"

Jonas Urbig, who joined Bayern Munich from FC Köln in January, was called upon to make his debut for the German record champions when Manuel Neuer went off injured in the second half of Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen.

"There are easier games for a debut, of course," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany at his post-match press conference, adding that Urbig has looked "very calm and confident" since moving to the Säbener Straße.

"I don't want to put any pressure on him now. We've always used the squad in every position. We have had moments without Kane, Musiala and even Kimmich. We've also played games without ‘Manu’ Neuer," he added.

Depending on the severity of the injury to Manuel Neuer, who injured his calf while celebrating, Urbig could feature once again against Bochum at the weekend.

“We have to continue to use the squad and everyone knows that. We're not going to change our approach and we know we have the talent in the squad to keep going.”
