Deniz Undav is to get minutes off the bench. Kai Havertz would get a rest as he\u2019s just come back from injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Since February 1st, Undav has 9 goals and 6 assists in 13 games across all competitions. With his ability to play at striker or as a second striker, Undav would seem like a good player to have on Germany\u2019s World Cup roster. However, Nagelsmann\u2019s reluctance to use the 29-year-old could be a look into the manager\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on <a href=\"https:\/\/shows.acast.com\/bavarian-podcast-works1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Acast;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Acast&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Acast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/5kHW7eDJSF2sGA1O6gKxvB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Spotify;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Spotify&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/bavarian-podcast-works\/id1460036325\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Apple;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Apple&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Apple<\/a>, or any leading podcast distributor\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Join the conversation!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/auth\/login?itm_medium=sidebar&amp;itm_source=bavarianfootballworks&amp;returnPath=%2Fauth%2Fsso%3FreturnTo%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bavarianfootballworks.com%252F\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sign up for a user account;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Sign up for a user account&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Sign up for a user account<\/a>\u00a0and get:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">New, improved notifications system!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Comment on articles, community posts<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Rec comments, community posts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deniz Undav rolled into the international break as one of the hottest scorers and playmakers in Europe.
