Chelsea and Germany star Kai Havertz lashed out during a World Cup press conference and claimed that questions over his position are ‘really getting on his nerves’.
The former Bayer Leverkusen forward was handed a spot in Hansi Flick’ s squad for the tournament in Qatar and was selected to start in their opening game against Japan. Havertz endured a hugely frustrating game having never quite managed to make enough of an impression as the four-time champions slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat.
Havertz’s performance against Japan was somewhat symptomatic of his side’s showing. Selected to lead the line by Flick, he struggled to really make make an impact before being replaced by natural forward Niclas Fullkrug.
