Germany benches Jamal Musiala for knockout match against Paraguay
Summary

Germany has opted to start Deniz Undav over Jamal Musiala in their Round of 32 knockout stage match against Paraguay on June 29, 2026. This change follows a disappointing 2-1 loss to Ecuador, where Musiala played. Undav has impressed in the tournament with three goals and two assists, all as a substitute. Musiala's benching appears to be a strategic decision to bolster the team's offense. The match is currently in Foxborough and could influence Germany's progression in the World Cup.
