Niclas Füllkrug
West Ham United striker Niclas Füllkrug (32) has suffered a fresh injury setback after withdrawing from the German national team with a calf problem. The news immediately caused concern among the Hammers faithful, given the forward’s history with similar issues. Last season, a calf injury kept Füllkrug sidelined for nearly three months, leaving fans anxious that history might repeat itself.
However, early assessments from the club’s medical staff suggest the situation is far less severe this time around. According to reports from hammers.news, a West Ham spokesperson described the injury as “not much” and expressed confidence that the problem will not develop into anything long-term.
While Füllkrug is expected to miss the upcoming Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur, the club remains optimistic that he will return in time for West Ham’s fixtures against Crystal Palace on September 20th and Everton on September 29th. (Source: Claret & Hugh)
