After coming off the bench to score against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Leroy Sané will get another chance to show what he can do for Germany when they take on Hungary in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann strongly hinted that the Bayern Munich winger will be in the starting lineup in Budapest.

"I'm assuming that he'll make use of the increased playing time tomorrow," said Nagelsmann.

The Germany coach expressed his admiration for Sané's qualities, but also stressed that it's important for the 28-year-old to become more consistent.

“He's made a similar impression with us as he has at Bayern, where he's also consistently made an impact after coming on as a substitute,” said Nagelsmann.

“He is a world-class player, but he needs consistency. We know he can do everything and bring everything to the table. Now it's a matter of bringing that to the pitch every day.”
