Niclas Füllkrug, the striker of the German national football team, suffered an Achilles tendon injury in Saturday’s 5-0 win against the Hungarians, and his game thus became questionable in the second round of the Nations League Division A on Tuesday, when the Dutch host Nationalelf – he calculated into the Hungarian Telegraph Office.
German national team captain Julian Nagelsmann announced at the Monday press conference leading up to the clash that it is not certain that the 31-year-old attacker will be available in Amsterdam for the time being.
At the same time, the coach also said that he does not really plan to make any changes in other positions compared to the starting eleven that took the field in Düsseldorf against the Hungarians.
“There are certainly things we are preparing for similarly, but on Tuesday we have a different opponent with a different style of play,” said Nagelsmann, quoted by MTI, and added that it is possible that defensive midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic will get a chance as a starter. The 20-year-old player came on as a substitute and scored the Germans’ fourth goal in the match against the Hungarians, in which Füllkrug scored the leading goal.
In the first round, the Netherlands beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 5-2, also in front of a home crowd. The Bosnians will be the guests of Hungary in the Puskás Arena on Tuesday evening, and the Dutch-German meeting will start at 8:45 p.m. in Amsterdam.

Niclas Füllkrug’s Injury Woes: Will He Make It to the Next Nations League Match?
German national team striker Niclas Füllkrug has been dealt a significant blow as he suffered an injury in the recent 5-0 win against Hungary in the Nations League. The 31-year-old attacker, who scored the leading goal in the match, is now a doubt for the next round of the competition against the Netherlands.
According to reports, Füllkrug’s injury is not an Achilles tendon injury, as initially stated, but rather a calf strain [[2]]. This news has come as a setback for the German national team, who are already preparing for their match against the Netherlands in Amsterdam.
German national team captain Julian Nagelsmann has expressed uncertainty over Füllkrug’s availability for the upcoming match, stating that the team is preparing for the worst-case scenario [[1]]. Nagelsmann has also hinted that defensive midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic may get a chance to start in place of Füllkrug, who came on as a substitute and scored the Germans’ fourth goal in the match against the Hungarians.
Füllkrug’s injury history suggests that he has had issues with ankle problems and calf injuries in the past [[3]]. The striker has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, which has limited his playing time and overall impact on the team.
The Nations League match against the Netherlands is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, and it remains to be seen whether Füllkrug will be fit enough to participate. The German national team will be hoping that their star striker can recover in time, as they look to build on their impressive 5-0 win against Hungary.
In the meantime, the German national team will be focusing on preparing for the match against the Netherlands, who beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 5-2 in their opening match of the Nations League. The Dutch-German meeting is expected to be a highly competitive encounter, and Füllkrug’s presence or absence could significantly impact the outcome of the match.
As the situation unfolds, fans and pundits alike will be keeping a close eye on Füllkrug’s fitness levels and wondering whether he will be able to make a swift recovery in time for the crucial match against the Netherlands.
