Niclas Füllkrug has been recalled to the German national team squad. Werder Bremen manager Clemens Fritz views the selection as clear recognition of the striker's outstanding current form.
Fritz stated that Füllkrug, with his present condition and goal-scoring instinct, can be a real factor for the German Football Association. The attacker has earned this return through consistent performances. The national coach's decision shows the importance the Werder professional currently holds.
Strong Season Form as the Basis
The call-up comes at a time when Füllkrug is exceptionally effective in the Bundesliga. This season, the 31-year-old has already scored nine goals in eight league appearances, making him the team's top scorer. This accuracy was also decisive in the last match, a 2-0 home win against Hoffenheim on October 31st, when Füllkrug opened the scoring in the 57th minute. The team has scored 17 goals and conceded 14 this season.
The strong form of their top scorer is also reflected in Werder Bremen's league position. The team from the Weser sits in fifth place in the standings with 15 points after eight matchdays, just three points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Their recent record from the last five games reads two wins, two draws, and one defeat (WLWDD). Prior to the win over Hoffenheim, there was a narrow 3-2 defeat in Dortmund, following a 3-2 victory against Mainz and a 2-2 draw with Paderborn.
Next Task in Stuttgart
Before the international break begins, Werder Bremen and Füllkrug have one more important away fixture on Saturday, November 7th. The opponent is VfB Stuttgart, who currently occupy 11th place. A look at the fixtures shows that Werder aims to continue their positive development heading into the break. Niclas Füllkrug's return to the DFB squad provides the team with additional momentum for this task.
