Niclas Fullkrug out for West Ham
The Sun is reporting that West Ham striker Niclas Fullkrug has traveled to Germany to address his persistent injury concerns. The German forward, who has yet to start a Premier League match or score since his £27.5 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund, remains sidelined with a calf injury sustained during the September international break. Initially, it was thought he would only be out for three weeks, but complications have delayed his recovery.
This situation draws parallels to former Hammer Maxwel Cornet, who also sought overseas treatment during his time at the club, causing friction with ex-manager David Moyes. Fullkrug’s decision to return to Germany for injections raises questions about the adequacy of medical treatment he’s received at West Ham or within the UK.
Although club insiders had hinted that Fullkrug might be fit enough to appear on the bench against Tottenham, it now appears unlikely that he will feature in the upcoming match against Manchester United this weekend.
