Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug will miss West Ham’s Premier League match against Fulham on Saturday due to a calf injury sustained on international duty. The injury, described as a calf strain, prompted his withdrawal from the Germany team’s recent match against the Netherlands and a return to his club in London.

Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug is embracing the new era for the national team after the retirement of several experienced players, including World Cup winners Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, and Toni Kroos.

He acknowledges the absence of Muller’s presence, both on and off the pitch, but emphasizes the team’s desire to achieve success despite the changes.
Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann remained tight-lipped about his starting lineup for the Euro 2024 last 16 match against Denmark, leaving fans and pundits guessing whether Kai Havertz or Niclas Fullkrug will lead the attack. While Havertz has started every group game, Fullkrug’s impact off the bench has created a selection dilemma. Nagelsmann emphasized the importance of both players and their contributions to the team, promising to reveal his decision the day before the match.
