Mike Mulvey sorry to lose teenage sensation Kwame Yeboah but couldn't stand in his way Nineteen-year-old Kwame Yeboah is headed for Germany. ROAR coach Mike Mulvey would have preferred for Kwame Yeboah to stay in Brisbane until the end of the season but conceded it was hard to bargain with a club the size of Borussia Monchengladbach. Despite having made only three A-League starts, teenage sensation Yeboah will sign a three-and-a-half year deal - provided he passes a medical - for an undisclosed fee with the German club currently fourth in the Bundesliga. Yeboah, the scorer of two screamers this season, won't be able to join Monchengladbach until January 1, the start of the transfer window. It's unknown whether the 19-year-old attacker's new club will allow him to join Roar pair James Donachie and Corey Brown in the national squad for next month's AFC under-22 championships in Oman. Mulvey wished Yeboah the best despite his preference for the former Gold Coast United youth teamer to finish the current A-League season before moving to Germany. "The club in Germany has made the call and they want him there now," said Mulvey, who also ruled out Monchengladbach loaning Yeboah back to the Roar as he continues to learn his trade. They wanted him for the final half of this season, and I'm not going to argue with them about what's good for Kwame. They've been scouting him for a few weeks and they know a talent when they see one. Those who don't think the German league is up there with the best in the world have rocks in their head. The Roar are not obligated to add a player to their A-League squad of 20 players, the minimum permitted size, because Yeboah was on a full-time youth team contract. However, Mulvey said he intended to sign a new attacker next month and did not rule out using the club's free visa spot. Yeboah's absence from the bench is the only change to the top-of-the-table Roar's 16-man squad for the clash against Newcastle at Suncorp Stadium. Mulvey has opted to retain the same XI that started in last Saturday's 2-1 win over Wellington Phoenix, meaning that experienced defender Jade North will make his return from a groin injury as an over-age player in Saturday's National Youth League clash between the two clubs at Goodwin Park. He's someone that needs to have a good run of training and games. We've got a good week of training into him, but he needs 60 minutes in the youth team to really top him off to be ready to play 90 minutes of A-League," Mulvey said of North. The Jets yesterday ruled out marquee man Emile Heskey (knee), with the former England international joining fellow attacker Nathan Burns (knee) on the sidelines. The ongoing unavailability of Burns means former Gold Coast United star James Brown is set for another start tonight. "It's been a frustrating stint since I've been at Newcastle, just trying to get through the injuries and get fully fit," Brown said. Brisbane are on top for a reason and they've got plenty of good players all over the park, but we've just got to stick to our game plan and work hard for 90 minutes. Experienced Roar goalkeeper Michael Theo plays his 100th A-League match for Brisbane. He also made 71 A-League appearances for Melbourne Victory.
