Former Bayern Munich star Mehmet Scholl has questioned Mario Gotze's attitude on the training pitch and urged the Germany international to work harder.
Gotze has been struggling to secure regular first-team football at the Allianz Arena since shaking off a hamstring problem, making just one appearance Bayern since the mid-season break.
Scholl has little sympathy for the 23-year-old, though, and believes he only has himself to blame for his situation.
"Gotze should be training much harder," Scholl told ARD.
"He is a shadow of his former self. He used to be as quick as an arrow during his time at Dortmund and was so athletic.
"Someone needs to give him a helping hand to get back on track.
"It's not up to Pep Guardiola to look after him. His only goal is winning the Champions League. He cannot afford to look after individual players in that way."
