Füllkrug back with Germany: Klopp calls him up for Serbia, Netherlands
With 13 goals in 11 games this season, the striker returns for Germany's final two Nations League matches, away to Serbia and at home to the Netherlands.
Niclas Füllkrug is back in the Germany squad after more than a year away. Jurgen Klopp has called him up as an extra option in attack for the two remaining Nations League games: Serbia on Friday and the Netherlands at home on Monday, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.
The forward is enjoying a strong spell at Werder Bremen, where he has scored 13 goals in 11 appearances this season. He managed just one goal during a six-month loan at Milan, left West Ham in the summer and returned to the club where he came through the youth ranks from the age of 14.
In his press conference he said he feels at home in Bremen and is fit enough to train consistently. On his role with Germany, he explained that he could be more of a pure finisher, but that the team also needs someone in the box to receive the ball when they win it back and counter.
