Sunderland striker Jewison Bennette has been named amongst the substitutes for Costa Rica's final group stage match against Germany at the 2022 World Cup.
The 18-year-old started their first match against Spain in which they lost 7-0 but came off the bench in the side's 1-0 win over Japan which now leaves them with a chance of making it out of the group.
Bennette could come off the bench and be the hero his nation needs in this match - something he managed to achieve when he scored a late equaliser for the Black Cats against Watford earlier this season.

Costa Rica would make it through to the knockout stage with a win against Germany with a victory also giving Costa Rica the top spot in Group E if Japan-Spain ends in a draw.
If Costa Rica and Germany draw, they would advance if Spain beats Japan but won't advance if Spain and Japan draw. If Costa Rica draws and Japan wins, then "Los Ticos" will need to overcome an immense goal-difference deficit of 13 goals.
