Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath has told Jurgen Klinsmann to announce his number one goalkeeper for the World Cup.
Speaking in a television interview, Magath expressed his view that Bayern keeper Oliver Kahn had everything to lose, the longer the period of indecision continues.
"We have all seen that things are reaching a head now and that is something that Jurgen Klinsmann seems to have underestimated," Magath said, just days after Kahn's uncertain performance against Cologne.
"Oliver has to shoulder all the pressure as the current number one. Jens Lehmann has nothing to lose, as he can only become number one.
"Klinsmann would do both me and FC Bayern a huge favour if he made his decision soon. I would have done it long ago."
Magath, however, stressed his full backing for Kahn despite his recent injury worries and match day errors.
"Oliver Kahn is someone who brings a wealth of experience to a team and that will help us a lot," he added.
"Jens Lehmann's personality has never helped a team progress."
