BayernBench option
Ulreich (groin) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against PSG.
Analysis: Ulreich is fit as expected Tuesday, with the goalie assuming his normal backup role. He should remain the third-string keeper in most circumstances, only appearing once in league play all season and yet to see time in UCL play.
Option for Tuesday
Ulreich (groin) is an option for Tuesday's match against PSG, according to manager Vincent Kompany. "Sven is back already."
Analysis: Ulreich has missed some time with a groin injury but is ready to resume action, with the goalie deemed fit for play. He will return to his backup role and serve behind Manuel Neuer, at least having another viable option in net. He has only appeared once all season, serving behind Jonas Urbig as well.
Trains with team Tuesday
Ulreich returned to full team training at Sabener Strasse Monday after recovering from the adductor muscle fiber tear that sidelined him since mid-Marcg, according to the club.
Analysis: Ulreich's return to collective sessions is a significant step forward after working his way back through running and ball work over recent weeks. The veteran backup goalkeeper is now back in contention to resume his role behind Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig in Bayern's goalkeeping hierarchy, with Tuesday's Champions League semifinal first leg against PSG a realistic target for his return to the matchday squad. Getting the full goalkeeping rotation back in order is a welcome development for Bayern heading into the biggest week of their season.
