Werder fans are a little worried despite Saturday night’s 2-1 win over Schalke. Niclas Füllkrug, who is considered a hot candidate for the DFB team’s World Cup squad for the upcoming tournament, had to be replaced during the game due to an injury.
Füllkrug, who scored the 1-0 goal earlier, was hit on the hip by Schalke’s Maya Yoshida during the second half and was substituted a few minutes later. After the game, however, the striker tried to project a little optimism.
“I came into the game with a bit of calf problems that pulled down into the Achilles tendon. Schalke jumped in the back several times. I got a knee, and I got a little dizzy,” said Füllkrug on Sky after the game ( via picture). “Then Wade and Achilles heel came along, then the whole chain closes.”
Füllkrug then even expressed the hope that he could be fit again for the next game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. However, since you don’t want to endanger anything worse with him, he will probably sit out. So you shouldn’t assume that the World Cup will be in jeopardy.
