What a disaster of a season it's been since Kovac got the boot. It would seem now that there is no chance of first team action, which is a real shame. What to do for Singh this off season? Move or stay in Reserves?
To be fair, it was under Hansi Flick that Sarpreet made his two Bundesliga appearances (82nd minute substitute vs Werder and start against Freiburg), he only made friendly appearances under Kovac, and he didn’t do preseason with Bayern for this season as he was with Nürnburg.
But yes, today’s game against Union was his best chance to be back playing in the Bundesliga, as Bayern rotated heavily due to a combination of a slight injury crisis and wanting to rest players ahead of the Champions League second leg. Trouble is I think he’s viewed as a Müller-type player, but Musiala has been better, as well as four years younger. Bayern picked 5 reserve players for today’s match day squad, but Singh stayed with the reserves and only came off the bench for them.
Singh did miss Bayern II’s game last week so perhaps he’s been slightly injured, but yes I think he should be looking for at least a loan, especially if Bayern II get relegated to the Regionalliga (they sit one point above the relegation zone). Some Bayern II teammates from last season have left to the Eredivisie (Wriedt at Willem II and Batista Meier at Heerenveen), and others are featuring in the Bundesliga (Musiala, Richards, Jeong and Dajaku), so there’s definitely places to go from Bayern II, even if the Bayern first team is a step to high.
