A NEW member of the Philippine Azkals national football team will most likely take the place of Fil-British goalkeeper Neil Etheridge when the team sees action in the Long Ten Cup next month.
Roland Mueller, a Fil-German goalie, who plays for MSV Duisburg in the second division Bundesliga league, is coming over this weekend to start training for the Azkals.
Mueller is one of two newcomers, whom coach Hans Michael Weiss is tapping for the Azkals. Mueller will be available for team inspection when the Azkals resume training in the coming week.
The Azkals will have joint practices with the national under-23 team, which is now in the final phases of its tryouts.
After the Azkals lost their home-and-away encounters with Kuwait in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Etheridge informed the coaching staff that he may not be available for the Long Ten Cup and the Southeast Asian Games due to his commitments with Fullham.
The 23-year old Mueller, who is from Cologne, may also wind up playing for the nationals in the coming 26th Southeast Asian Games in Indonesia.
The Long Ten Cup will start on Sept. 30 in Taipei, with the Philippines set to meet teams from ChineseTaipei, Hong Kong and Macau. Peter Atencio
