Germany coach Joachim Low feels Thomas Muller is going through a “difficult phase” as he backed the forward to return to his best.

Muller, 29, has struggled to find his best form for Bayern Munich but he remains part of Low’s plans and the coach said Muller – the Golden Boot winner at the 2010 World Cup – could still play a key role for Germany.

“Although he hasn’t stuck out lately at the national team or his club, Thomas Muller is a player who gives a lot of energy and can lead and animate the youngsters,” he told a news conference.

“He still has those qualities of a great finish, of backing up. I have seen him in good form against [Borussia] Dortmund. Bayern’s players were in a good form for 60-70 minutes.

“Thomas Muller is a player who will always be able to decide matches, although he is currently going through a difficult phase.”
