Alan Shearer and Ian Wright slam Kai Havertz as Chelsea star dropped for Germany vs Spain

Kai Havertz was dropped from Germany's team to play Spain as Hansi Flick's side tried to recover from their shock opening game defeat to Japan.

The Chelsea forward thought he had scored a second goal for his country in the first half of their game against Hajime Moriyasu's side, but saw his effort ruled out for offside - something that brought great criticism form Ian Wright. He was then subbed off in the second half despite his team chasing a goal.

Japan came from behind on the night to condemn Germany to a surprise defeat that left a lot riding on the fixture against Luis Enrique's Spain side that crushed Costa Rica 7-0 on the opening matchday.
