Rafinha a good option for Germany - Muller

Rafinha has undertaken his test for German citizenship
and Bayern Munich team-mate Thomas Muller feels he
would be worthy of selection.

Thomas Muller is sure that Bayern Munich team-mate Rafinha
would be an asset to Germany if he is granted citizenship.

The right-back rejected a call-up to the Brazilian national team
from Dunga last month, but refuted suggestions it was in order
to switch his international allegiance.

Rafinha has only represented Brazil's senior side in two
friendlies, meaning he is still eligible to feature for another
nation.

Muller is confident that he would be welcome in the Germany
squad as a possible replacement for Philipp Lahm should he
complete his naturalisation.

"With his qualities on and off the pitch he's always an option,"
the Bayern forward told AZ.

Rafinha underwent his citizenship test last Friday and admitted
he would be open to representing the 2014 World Cup winners if
he passes.

"I have a good feeling. Of course, the national team is a
possibility," he said.

"But I'm only talking about it when I have my passport, now it's
still too early."
