All White Sarpreet Singh's chances of a first-team debut with German powerhouse Bayern Munich have received a boost, named on the bench for the Bundesliga holders' home match against Werder Bremen.
Singh, 20, was an unused substitute for Bayern's 3-1 victory over Tottenham in the Champions League earlier this week, however a midfield injury crisis could open the door for the young All White to finally taste some first-team minutes.
Injuries to Corentin Tolisso, Kingsley Coman and and Michael Cuisance and the suspension of Javi Martinez have left Bayern short in midfield options, with Singh among a quartet of youngsters added to the first-team squad.
"Oliver Batista-Meier, Joshua Zirkzee, Sarpreet Singh and Lukas Mai will all be in the squad," manager Hansi Flick told media.
A first-team debut against Werder Bremen would be special in New Zealand footballing circles, with Kiwi icon Wynton Rufer having made his name as a player in Bremen.
Bayern host Bremen at the Allianz Arena tomorrow morning NZT.
