Musiala wants to play bigger role for Germany

Jamal Musiala is keen to play a bigger role for the German national team.
Bayern München starlet Jamal Musiala has targeted more playing time for the German national team ahead of this year's World Cup.

"I want to play a big role in the team. If not as a starter, I'll be happy to come on from the bench. I want to get more minutes at the World Cup than I had at the Euros," said the 18-year-old in an interview with Sport Bild.

"The defeat in the last 16 of the Euros against my second home country, England, hurt me a lot because I was subbed on during injury time and could hardly help. Of course I was disappointed. But I know my time in the starting eleven will come."

Since making his debut for Germany in March 2021, Musiala has gone on to feature nine times, scoring once.
