Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski says he is
considering his future after being left on the bench again for the
3-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga on
Saturday.
Coach Jurgen Klinsmann decided to use Miroslav Klose as a lone
frontman, which has been his favoured policy for most of the
season.
Podolski’s patience appears to have snapped although he is a
regular starter for Germany.
“It’s normal and legitimate to have thoughts of where things
will go leading up to the winter break,” the striker said, who came
on to score a penalty against Arminia Bielefeld.
“I was not surprised to be left on the bench, but certainly
angry.”
Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness had recently stated that
Poldoski’s position with the national team cannot be compared to
that of his club as he referred to the ‘mediocre standard’ of
the national side.
“I did not pick the team against Liechtenstein. Perhaps I should
ask [coach] Joachim Low to play me against the top 20 countries in
the world in the future,” retorted Podolski.
