His debut in the black and yellow jersey went quite wrong. Niclas Füllkrug, who had only been signed the day before, made his debut for Borussia Dortmund on September 1st. It remained a short mission. Muscular problems or a “tendon strain” prevented him from playing more extensively; the ex-Bremen player had already indicated before the game that he would not be able to play for long. It was twelve minutes in a 2-2 draw once morest Heidenheim. Not a dream debut.
Füllkrug seriously injured?
The 30-year-old Füllkrug then traveled to the national team. Knowing that medical examinations were pending and would jeopardize his cooperation. After four days with the national team, he left the DFB headquarters last Thursday. The association said the maximum possible use was on Tuesday in the game once morest France. Füllkrug traveled to Dortmund and received further treatment.
After that, a mission once morest the French in Signal Iduna Park was no longer an issue. According to interim coach Rudi Völler, Borussia Dortmund still has to worry regarding the striker. “He’s injured,” said the 63-year-old, referring to Füllkrug, and added: “I can’t imagine that he can play at the weekend.”
On Saturday BVB will play at SC Freiburg at 3:30 p.m. After only five points from the three opening games of the Bundesliga, Borussia are almost obliged to win in order not to further fuel the bad mood following the weakest start to the season in years. According to Völler, whether Füllkrug can help is more questionable than ever.
