Comes off bench in friendly
Undav (hamstring) came off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win over United States.
Analysis: Undav entered the game in the 61st minute to replace Kai Havertz, and it seems the injury he sustained against Finland last Sunday wasn't as severe as initially thought. Undav will compete with Havertz and Nick Woltemade for minutes upfront in the World Cup. The Stuttgart forward scored twice in the 4-0 win over Finland on May 31.
Scores brace before hamstring issue
Undav scored two goals in Sunday's 4-0 victory over Finland before being substituted after feeling some hamstring discomfort, though the Germany striker played down the severity of the issue, per iMiaSanMia. "I felt a bit of pain but it's nothing bad. A few days of treatment and it should be fine."
Analysis: Undav's brace underlined his importance to Germany's attacking options heading into the World Cup, and his reassuring words after the match suggest the hamstring problem is purely precautionary rather than any serious concern. The DFB team will monitor his condition over the coming days before providing any further update, with Germany confident of having him available when their World Cup campaign gets underway.
