Füllkrug a big doubt to face the Netherlands

Niclas Füllkrug is a big doubt for Germany’s clash with the Netherlands.

Germany could be without Niclas Füllkrug when they face the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.

The West Ham striker is struggling with achilles tendon and calf problems following Germany’s 5-0 win over Hungary.

“It’s not yet clear whether he’ll be able to play,” Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann told reporters at his pre-match press conference on Monday.

After the press conference, Füllkrug only took part in the beginning of the final training session before pulling out.

If he is ruled out, Maximilian Beier could come into the starting line-up, with Kai Havertz moving up to the top.

Regardless of whether Füllkrug is fit or not, Nagelsmann could make further changes for the match in Amsterdam.

“It’s not completely decided yet. It could be that we make a few changes,” he said.

In principle, however, he doesn’t intend to change much in terms of tactics and personnel.

“It worked well against Hungary,” said the 37-year-old.
