Bayern Munich are facing a goalkeeping crisis ahead of their Champions League last 16 second leg with Atalanta after the club announced on Sunday that Sven Ulreich had sustained an injury.
Ulreich suffered the issue during Bayern's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday, leaving Vincent Kompany scrambling to find a capable deputy.
Both Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig are already out with respective injuries, and Ulreich will now join them on the sidelines after sustaining a muscle tear in his right adductor.
He had been called up for action after Urbig's concussion in their midweek Champions League win over Atalanta and amid the ongoing injury absence of first-choice Neuer.
Sixteen-year-old Leonard Prescott was on the bench at the weekend, as he was on Tuesday in Bergamo, and is likely to start between the sticks for the second leg.
Bayern already hold a commanding lead in the tie after their 6-1 win at New Balance Arena as Michael Olise starred with two goals and an assist for the Bundesliga leaders.
Sven Ulreich sidelined for the time being.
