With the European football season already done, the Philippines has recalled some of its big guns for the international friendly against Hong Kong at Mongkok Stadium on Tuesday.

Europe-based Stephan Schrock, Neil Etheridge, Manny Ott and Paul Mulders have been included in the 18-man side of German coach Michael Weiss, who is expected to give 18-year-old Mike Ott his first appearance for the senior side.

Mike Ott, the younger brother of midfielder Manny, plays for 1860 Munich in the Under-19 Bundesliga where he is one of the top scorers with 16 goals last season.

“We can hopefully give him a chance against Hong Kong,” Weiss said of the young striker who has been considered one of the hottest young prospects in Germany.
