Bremen's Füllkrug upbeat despite poor season start and Stage injury
Striker Niclas Füllkrug will not dwell on Werder Bremen's poor start into the Bundesliga season and a grave injury sustained by team-mate Jens Stage as he hopes for improvement next weekend against RB Leipzig. Bremen lost their league opener 4-1 at Freiburg on Sunday.
Werder Bremen's Niclas Füllkrug remains optimistic despite the club's disappointing start to the Bundesliga season and the serious injury suffered by teammate Jens Stage. The 33-year-old striker, who played for an hour in a return to the team on loan from West Ham United, stated that he does not view the situation negatively. Füllkrug expressed that while the season ahead may be challenging, it could also be enjoyable.
Coach Daniel Thioune confirmed that Füllkrug is in good physical condition but needs match action to improve. Stage's severe thigh muscle injury could sideline him for the entire season, prompting the club's managing director, Clemens Fritz, to seek a replacement midfielder before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Fritz emphasized that the club is making serious efforts to sign a new player, but urged fans not to become overly nervous following the loss to Freiburg and Stage's injury setback.
