Füllkrug's serious injury: World Cup dreams shattered again!

This serious injury forces the 32-year-old international player to take a longer break, which will have serious consequences not only for him but also for the national team. Allegedly, national coach Julian Nagelsmann had considered him as a possible replacement for Nick Woltemade, who was currently struggling with a flu-like infection. But Füllkrug will now also miss the re-call-up for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland unless something else happens to him. Dike room reports that he was only used in two international matches in June in the run-up to the tournament.
The situation is anything but pleasant. Füllkrug last played in the Premier League for West Ham, but failed to score.

Now the question arises as to whether he will even be available for the next international match in November. The pressure on him is growing, but the injury makes it extremely unlikely that he will be fit in time. T Online also reported this mishap.
