Singh’s Nuremberg loan ends
NEW ZEALAND midfielder Sarpreet Singh returned to European champions Bayern Munich last Friday (29) after his loan spell at German second division club Nuremberg was cut short.
Last season, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder became the first player of Indian descent to play in the Bundesliga.
The Auckland-born midfielder was sent on a season-long loan to Nuremberg last July, but struggled to break into the first team, starting just five of their 18 league games so far this season.
“Together with Bayern and Sarpreet, we have agreed this step is the right one,” said Nuremberg sports director Dieter Hecking.
Nuremberg gave no details of why Singh’s loan spell has ended prematurely. He joined Bayern’s reserves from A-League side Wellington Phoenix in July 2019, but was promoted to the senior side by head coach Hansi Flick.
