Former Bayern Munich and Germany legend Lothar Matthäus has taken the time to criticise Bayern and Germany star Leroy Sané.

Sané has only featured for 19 minutes in this summer’s continental tournament and Matthäus believes the 25-year-old is not hiding his emotions well.

“Sane seems to have fallen behind again with (Joachim) Löw,” Matthäus said.

“I took a closer look at him while warming up and if you watch (Joshua) Kimmich before the game for comparison, it’s almost a different sport in terms of body language.

“So maybe the national coach doesn’t like the attitude of the Bayern player again and that’s why others are currently being preferred.

“However, in my opinion, Leroy is the first candidate if Thomas Müller fails.

“Germany can absorb this loss against Hungary. In the longer term, it would be extremely important to have Thomas back on the field.”

Should Germany lose to Hungary, they would be eliminated from Euro 2020 should Portugal take at least one point from France.
