BERLIN, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Werder Bremen's Tim Borowski looks set to make his debut for Germany after being named in Rudi Voeller's squad for next week's friendly against Bosnia and a Euro 2004 qualifier against the Faroe Islands.

The 22-year-old midfielder was the only newcomer in a 22-man squad unveiled on Friday.

Squad:
Goalkeepers: Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich), Jens Lehmann (Borussia Dortmund).

Defenders: Arne Friedrich, Marko Rehmer (both Hertha Berlin), Ingo Hertzsch (Hamburg SV), Sebastian Kehl, Christoph Metzelder, Christian Woerns (all Borussia Dortmund), Carsten Ramelow (Bayer Leverkusen).
