Podolski frustrated on bench

Bayern Munich striker Lukas Podolski has admitted that his future may lie elsewhere after falling out of favour at Bavarian giants Bayern Munich. The striker has hinted he would like to try foreign football.

"I would be stupid if I said everything is fine at Bayern," he told German paper Sueddeutsche.

"It is not an easy time at Bayern, I have to help myself."

Podolski was expected to shine after being named the best young player at the 2006 World Cup.

He failed to live up to expectations and was dropped this season as Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld prefers to field Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose..
