Arsenal’s Karl Hein is slated to make his Bundesliga debut against Bayern Munich tomorrow due to an injury to Werder Bremen No. 1 Mio Backhaus. Bremen head coach Horst Steffen confirmed that Backhaus suffered a shoulder injury in training, opening the door for the newly acquired Estonian international<\/a> to start between the sticks. The 23-year-old featured regularly in La Liga whilst on loan at Real Valladolid last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bremen head to the Allianz Arena to take on Bayern six days after losing 0-3 to SC Freiburg at home. Since being unexpectedly thrust into a starting role this season<\/a>, Backhaus has ended up conceding 10 goals. The new Germany U21 No. 1 did find himself unlucky last week, however, as a Vincenzo Grifo penalty<\/a> and unfortunate own-goal from youngster Karim Coulibaly<\/a> counted against his record.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In any event, Hein will certainly receive a chance to lay claim to the No. 1 slot. The nature of Backhaus’ shoulder injury might keep the 21-year-old out long term. Hein not only amassed 31 La Liga appearances last season, but also started twice for country twice during the recent September international break.<\/p>\n

“After standing in goal during the international games, he’ [Hein] is in rhythm,<\/em>” Steffen remarked at a Thursday press conference. “He can prove himself. We’ll be needing a few parries [against Bayern].<\/em>“<\/p>\n
