AMSTERDAM: Germany forward Niclas Fuellkrug will miss Tuesday´s Nations League clash with the Netherlands with an Achilles tendon strain, the German FA (DFB) confirmed before the match.
Fuellkrug left the Germany camp on Tuesday afternoon, the DFB told to AFP subsidiary SID. The 31-year-old forward, who joined Premier League West Ham from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, was given a rare start in Saturday´s 5-0 win over Hungary in Duesseldorf, scoring the opening goal.
The striker, who has 14 goals in 22 games for Germany since making his international debut in 2022 aged 29, complained of a calf issue during Saturday´s match. The Germans beat the Dutch 2-1 in a friendly in Frankfurt in March 2024, with Fuellkrug heading the winning goal with five minutes remaining.
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Monday that Fuellkrug was in danger of missing Tuesday´s match and the striker lasted 15 minutes in a training session later that day. Nagelsmann could return Arsenal´s Kai Havertz to the centre-forward role, where he started all Germany´s five games at Euro 2024.
