Singapore, Monday, 1July 19, 2010 — Geylang United forward Masrezwan Masturi has been called up to take the place of the injured Qiu Li in the Singapore Selection squad for this Saturday’s FIS Asian Challenge Cup match against English side Burnley.

The Tampines Rovers forward has been ruled out after suffering suspected knee ligament damage during the Stags’ 2-0 win over Balestier Khalsa on Saturday in the Great Eastern – YEO’S S.League where he scored both goals.

Masrezwan, 29, has an injury-interrupted season himself so far this season with Singapore Cup holders Geylang and will be looking to impress in the coming months to force his way into the national set-up in time for the ASEAN Football Championship in December.

His last international appearance came on New Year’s Eve last year when he came on as a substitute in the 4-1 friendly defeat to Oman at Bishan Stadium. He currently has 19 senior caps and two goals to his name.
