West Ham Faces Extended Period Without Fullkrug as Thigh Tear Sidelines Star
West Ham United’s striker Niclas Fullkrug is facing an extended period on the sidelines due to a thigh injury. The 32-year-old sustained the injury during a training session with the team, as confirmed by Germany’s national coach, Julian Nagelsmann.
Fullkrug’s Injury Details
The thigh tear will keep Fullkrug out of action for several weeks, significantly impacting his availability for both club and country. Nagelsmann had intended to include Fullkrug as a replacement for another injured player, Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling, who is currently dealing with adductor problems.
Impact on Germany National Team
- Fullkrug’s injury means he will miss critical international fixtures.
- Germany was preparing for a key match against Luxembourg, where Fullkrug was expected to contribute.
- The timing of this setback adds to the challenges faced by the national squad as they adjust their strategies.
West Ham’s Current Situation
This injury further complicates West Ham’s attacking options. Fullkrug had been a vital part of the team’s plans this season, and his absence will be felt in upcoming matches.
As West Ham prepares for the challenges ahead, fans and management alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts without Fullkrug.
