Füllkrug avoids national team return discussion after strong start
Summary

Niclas Füllkrug of Werder Bremen expressed frustration over ongoing discussions about his potential return to the German national team following his impressive performance this season, where he has scored six goals in as many Bundesliga matches. After Bremen's 2-2 draw with Paderborn, Füllkrug stated he prefers to refrain from commenting, emphasizing that he has addressed the topic multiple times. His recent goals have reignited debate on whether he should be included in the national setup, following his last appearance for Germany in June 2025. Head coach Jürgen Klopp appears to be focusing on younger players, leaving Füllkrug's return uncertain. Upcoming international matches for Germany are scheduled for next month against Serbia and the Netherlands.
