Niclas Füllkrug shows positive fitness signs at Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen striker Niclas Füllkrug is showing positive signs following his return to the club. Despite concerns regarding his age and history of muscular injuries, coach Daniel Thioune reported that the 33-year-old is in a ‘surprisingly good condition’ despite limited recent playing time.

Füllkrug has already made an impact, scoring a penalty during his cup debut against Lüneburg. Thioune noted that Füllkrug’s energy is ‘infectious’ and suggested he may be included in the starting lineup for the upcoming match against Freiburg. While his integration remains a process, his presence is already being felt within the squad's dynamics.

The club continues to manage fitness concerns, a recurring theme for Werder Bremen in recent seasons, but early indications suggest Füllkrug is becoming a vital component of the team.
