Hertha BSC prodigy Jordan Torunarigha is in contention to play his first game at the ongoing Fifa U20 World Cup in South Korea after missing Germany's opener against Venezuela due to club duties.

The German Football Association have announced that the defender has arrived in South Korea and participated in the U20s final training session on Monday local time.

Germany have a very crucial clash against Mexico on Tuesday and a defeat could see them crashing out of the tournament or qualify for the knockout stages through the back door, that is if they finish among the four best third-placed teams.

The same day Germany surprisingly lost 2-0 to Venezuela, Jordan Torunarigha was in action for Hertha BSC in their final game of the season against Bayer Leverkusen.

Germany's roster has been reduced to 19, with Jannes Horn (Wolfsburg) and Florian Neuhaus (1860 Munich) involved in the promotion/relegation playoffs for their respective teams.
