“Set to Return Soon”: Sky Sports Journalist Optimistic About Füllkrug’s Comeback

German international Niclas Füllkrug, who joined the club in a £27m move from Borussia Dortmund this summer, has been sidelined for nearly three months due to an ankle injury sustained on international duty.

Reports suggest that Füllkrug has struggled to settle in the UK and is now considering a return to Germany as early as January.

If true, it would mark yet another failure in the club’s striker recruitment efforts.

The German forward was signed as an alternative to Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, who has since flourished with the Villans, earning a key role in the team and a new long-term contract.

In contrast, Füllkrug has barely featured and has yet to make an impact.

An early departure for the striker would be a significant setback for the club, further compounding concerns over the decision to appoint Julen Lopetegui as Head Coach, which is already being criticized as a poor choice.

However, Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported that Füllkrug is nearing a return to action.

His Achilles tendon injury, though persistent, is improving, and he is expected to rejoin the squad shortly after the international break.

The situation remains uncertain, with doubts about the timeline for his return.

While some are skeptical about his ability to recover and make an impact in the coming weeks, the club remains hopeful that he can turn things around and contribute to the team soon.

Whether Füllkrug’s return will mark a fresh start or the continuation of a troubled chapter remains tobe seen.
