Bayern Munich sporting director Matthias Sammer has told reporters that Florida-born Julian Green could challenge for a first-team place during the secondhalf of the Bundesliga season. Green is Bayern’s reserve team’s top scorer this season with 15 goals in 18 appearances. The 18-year-old striker made his first-team debut in a UEFAChampions League win at CSKA Moscow in November. While the German-American has not decided yet where his international future lies, Green has for now opted to play for Germany’s U19 team.
