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.
