Former Chelsea talent Jamal Musiala could take another step in his impressive career this afternoon in Germany's World Cup opener against Japan.
Musiala has established himself as one of Europe's hottest talents in recent seasons after breaking through to the Bayern Munich first team in 2020. The 19-year-old has made 100 appearances for the German giants since returning to his birth nation at the age of 16 and has enjoyed a terrific start to the 2022/23 campaign with 22 goal involvements in 22 games.
His form has earned him a place in the Germany World Cup squad as DFB-Team seek mass improvement from their group stage exit in 2018. Hansi Flick's side face Japan at 1pm today in Group E and Musiala will fancy his chances of starting in the attacking midfielder spot after featuring in eight of their previous nine games.
