Nine goals in the league have marked the start of the 2026/27 Bundesliga season for Niclas Füllkrug since his return to Werder Bremen from West Ham United during the summer transfer window, OneFootball reported.
The 33-year-old striker credited the Werder Bremen medical team for helping him get back in shape and avoid missing any training sessions. Estoy sano y allí hay un equipo médico que me cuida muy bien,
continued Füllkrug.
During a DFB press conference on Tuesday in Herzogenaurach, the German international reflected on his homecoming and his struggles with injuries and a lack of continuity during two difficult years abroad at West Ham and AC Milan. Füllkrug rejected the label that his time abroad was terrible, emphasizing that his family and daughter come first and that he created fond memories outside of football.
Primero quiero recalcar que nunca ha habido una etapa de mi vida en la que las cosas me hayan ido “terriblemente mal”,
responded Füllkrug to a question about his disappointing spell in England, adding, Pude sacar mucho de aquellos años y crear bonitos recuerdos con mi familia.
Simplemente no conseguía mantenerme en buenas condiciones físicas,
continued Füllkrug.

Addressing his sporting revival under Daniel Thioune’s squad, Füllkrug explained that staying healthy and playing with teammates who deliver the ball in decisive moments have been vital. Todos los elogios son para mis compañeros del Werder,
he stated, noting that he benefits immensely from how the team gets the ball to him.
Füllkrug joined the Werder youth academy at age 14 and noted that between 70 and 90 percent of the staff working there remain the same. El Werder es, sencillamente, mi casa,
he said, adding, Como todos sabéis, donde mejor se duerme es en la cama de uno.
His strong form for Werder Bremen also earned him a new call-up to the German national team under Jürgen Klopp, ending an absence of over a year.
