Bayern Munich player are back at it in Friday’s World Cup Qualifiers as Kingsley Coman, Renato Sanches, and Julian Green are scheduled to take the field in separate matches thousands of miles apart.
The oldest of the three players is Green at 21, so this is definitely the day of Bayern’s youngsters. While Green’s match in Cuba is a friendly, Coman and Sanches are set to take part in qualifiers for Russia 2018 over in Europe.
Coman is one of the best wingers to come out of France in years, and he still shows enormous potential to take that next step into “elite-hood”. Unlikely to start in the matches, Coman is an extremely dangerous piece off the bench.
During Euro 2016, Sanches managed to establish himself in the midfield of the soon-to-be European Champions and should pick up right where he left off. Sanches has been slowly rounding into form since joining Bayern in the summer, so it remains to be seen if Portugal will throw a more veteran presence in the midfield to start matches and bring on Sanches late in match. Still, their opponents in these two qualifiers won’t challenge them.
Down in Cuba, Green will be part of a United States squad in a historic friendly between the two nations. They’ve played previously in tournaments and World Cup Qualifiers, but due to the now-dead US embargo against Cuba, no friendly matches were ever played. It remains to be seen what exactly Jurgen Klinsmann has planned for these friendlies and whether or not Green will see the field.
