Niclas Fullkrug Injury Update Discover Which Games the West Ham Striker May Miss
Niclas Fullkrug, the West Ham United striker, faces another injury setback confirmed by Germany’s head coach, Julian Nagelsmann. Fullkrug has struggled to gain consistency following his transfer from Borussia Dortmund for £27 million in August 2024.
Details of Fullkrug’s Injury
Julian Nagelsmann revealed that Fullkrug sustained a torn muscle bundle in his thigh. As a result, he will not compete in the upcoming matches against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland.
Potential Games Fullkrug May Miss
Fullkrug’s absence is expected to last several weeks, potentially extending through to the next international break. The matches he may miss include:
- Brentford (Home) – 20 October
- Leeds (Away) – 24 October
- Newcastle (Home) – 2 November
- Burnley (Home) – 8 November
Impact of the Injury on West Ham
This injury is a significant blow for West Ham, particularly as Fullkrug has already missed a total of 175 days since his arrival. His inability to secure a continuous run of games and goals remains a concern for the team.
Nuno Espirito Santo, West Ham’s manager, initially placed his trust in Fullkrug by starting him in his first two games. However, the striker struggled during their recent 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Looking Ahead
As West Ham navigates through a packed schedule, the team will look to address Fullkrug’s fitness issues. Fans and management alike hope for a swift recovery, but the current outlook suggests challenges ahead.
