PHP MVC: use router inside controller?

Question

I am creating my own MVC framework (to improve my PHP), but I don't know how to deal with best practices.

In my router, I have a method of creating a link using the route name and parameters (the method returns a well-formatted URL), so in my controllers I can use something like:

//inside an action of any of my controllers
$router = Router::getInstance(); //the router is a Singleton
$url = $router->createUrl('articleReadOne', array(65, 'matrix')); //$url = "article/read/65-matrix"
$this->redirectTo($url);

Or inside my views:

//inside a view
<?php $router = Router::getInstance(); ?> 
<a href="<?php echo $router->createUrl('article-read', array(65, 'matrix')); ?>"> Click me </a>

But I can read across the net that using Singleton is bad practice (even for a database class).

I really need to have access to my createUrl () method from inside my controller and from inside my views, but if I don't use the Singleton Router class, how can I “inject” my router into my controllers and be able to use it? Is it really bad to use Singleton in this case?

Thank you for your help.
