Ian Wright and Roy Keane have told England supporters to accept Jamal Musiala's decision to represent his birthplace, Germany. The 19-year-old started for Hansi Flick's side in the World Cup opener against Japan, despite having enjoyed his formative years on English soil.
The former Chelsea youngster couldn't give his nation the cutting-edge as the Asian Cup runners-up waltzed away 2-1 victors. Yet he still impressed for Germany, reminding England fans - and Blues supporters alike - just how the Three Lions lost sight of one of the world's most exciting young players.
Musiala, who was born in Stuttgart, represented England from under-15s to under-17s before featuring in the under-21s side at the age of just 17. While he earned his stripes for the Three Lions across various age groups, the Bayern Munich starlet also appeared for Germany under-17s at the age of 15.
