(Reuters) - Werder Bremen defender Mitchell Weiser has confirmed he wants to switch allegiance to Algeria after previously playing for Germany's youth teams.

Weiser is eligible to represent Algeria because of his mother's origin, German magazine Kicker said last Tuesday.

"I have always had the option in my mind. It's an important goal of mine to play in a big tournament and with Algeria I think I have a better chance of achieving that," Weiser told a news conference on Thursday. But that was not enough for coach Hansi Flick to include him in the Germany's squad for the tournament.

Belmadi led Algeria to their second African Cup of Nations title in 2019, but his team were eliminated in the first round of the tournament in Cameroon early last year.
