It”s World Cup audition time in the Bundesliga as Bayern nears the title

BERLIN: (Apr 4)  It’s crunch time for a host of Bundesliga players with ambitions of playing at the World Cup.

Bayern Munich 18-year-old midfielder Lennart Karl is fighting to keep his spot for Germany, Deniz Undav’s scoring streak for Stuttgart has put pressure on coach Julian Nagelsmann to take him to the U.S. in June, and Alejandro Grimaldo’s form for Bayer Leverkusen could help him earn a spot for Spain.

Oh, and there’s still a title to be won.
