FC Bayern Munich may have to pay dearly for their gala performance against Atalanta Bergamo. In addition to Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala also appears to have been injured. There are also concerns about Jonas Urbig. The attacking player grabbed his ankle after an offensive move shortly before the end (87th minute) and was limping across the pitch. In injury time, manager Vincent Kompany took him off. In addition, Jonas Urbig also had to leave the pitch supported by two coaches after conceding the final goal to make it 6-1 just moments before the final whistle. The substitute for the injured Manuel Neuer had collided heavily with Nikola Krstovic before Mario Pasalic scored the rebound. According to Sport1, Urbig was taken to hospital after the final whistle and was suffering from visual disturbances. There was suspicion of concussion, it was reported. Bayern's CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed this: "Jonas is in hospital, he has most likely suffered concussion."Alphonso Davies had already been substituted in tears earlier in the game. An official diagnosis for the three unlucky players was not immediately available. After the match, sporting director Max Eberl gave an initial update on the severity of the injuries: "Phonzie probably has a muscle injury. Jonas was hit on the head. He's a bit dazed and now has a huge headache, of course. I can't say for sure what happened yet. In Jamal's case, it was more of a precautionary measure in the end. He felt something in his ankle, but nothing serious. That seems to be the least serious of the three. We'll have to wait and see with the other two." Kompany also gave a cautious all-clear. "We hope that Alphonso and Jamal's injuries aren't too serious," said captain Joshua Kimmich on Amazon Prime Video. "That cost us a lot last season. We can't let that happen again this season."Musiala only returned to the German record champions' squad in mid-January after suffering a broken fibula at the Club World Cup in the summer. Since then, the 23-year-old has gradually gained playing time. In ten previous appearances, he has already been involved in four goals (two goals and two assists). Against Atalanta, Musiala, who came on for Serge Gnabry after the break, also scored the goal that made it 6-0. If Musiala is indeed injured, his comeback in the German national team for the training camp at the end of March would also be off. An injury to Urbig could mean that Sven Ulreich will play against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend. Neuer is currently out with a torn muscle fibre in his left calf, as he was a few weeks ago.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting

Details of the Injuries
Alphonso Davies was substituted off the field earlier in the game due to a suspected muscle injury, while Jamal Musiala felt discomfort in his ankle towards the end of the match.

Ramifications for FC Bayern
The potential absence of key players like Musiala, Davies, and Urbig could pose challenges for FC Bayern Munich in their upcoming matches. With Musiala's recent resurgence and impactful performances, his absence could be a significant blow to the team's attacking prowess. Additionally, Urbig's potential absence may lead to changes in the goalkeeper position, with Sven Ulreich possibly stepping in for the injured Manuel Neuer.

As FC Bayern navigates through the aftermath of these injuries, there are concerns about the team's depth and ability to maintain their winning form.
