Niclas Füllkrug, the striker who has absolutely been on fire, is reportedly set to rejoin the German national squad for their upcoming Nations League matches this month. According to reports coming out of Kicker, it looks like his incredible run with Werder Bremen has made him impossible to ignore for the national team selectors.
Bundesliga’s Top Gun Ignites Bremen
This guy’s return to Werder Bremen this summer has been nothing short of spectacular, and it’s clearly helped him hit that form which got him into Germany’s 2022 World Cup team. I mean, we’re talking about a player who has already bagged nine goals in eight Bundesliga matches this season. Nine! In eight! That’s just unreal, and it’s why he’s sitting pretty as the league’s top scorer right now. When you’re putting up those kinds of numbers, it’s hard to argue with a national team recall. The dude is absolutely delivering.
From Loan Spells to Lynchpin
It’s a serious comeback story for the now 33-year-old. After leaving Bremen back in 2023, Füllkrug bounced around a bit, playing for Borussia Dortmund, then West Ham United, and even a loan spell at AC Milan. But during those stints, he just couldn’t seem to find his rhythm, struggled for regular playing time, and honestly, didn’t show the pure talent he had at Bremen. Now, back in those familiar surroundings, it’s like a switch flipped. He’s on track for his best goalscoring season since 2022/23, which is when he originally earned that big move to Dortmund. Talk about coming home and rediscovering your mojo, right?
Germany is set to play Serbia on November 13th and then the Netherlands on November 16th. This is Füllkrug’s chance to show everyone that his red-hot form isn’t just a flash in the pan. The stakes are high for him to solidify his place and prove he’s the real deal for the national side.
