Niclas Füllkrug’s Werder Bremen revival continues apace

Werder Bremen's veteran striker Niclas Füllkrug has once again proven his goal-scoring abilities in the Bundesliga. During Saturday's 1-1 draw away at Cologne, the 33-year-old netted a crucial equalizer in the 69th minute after reacting quickest to a rebound. Werder Bremen head coach Daniel Thioune commended Füllkrug's natural instincts, stating that the goal was not a coincidence but a testament to his ability to capitalize on opportunities.

Since returning to his former club on loan from West Ham United in August, Füllkrug has scored three goals in all competitions. Thioune expressed Bremen's appreciation for having such a reliable No. 9 in their lineup, noting that the team has struggled to find one during the previous campaign. The Serbian striker's presence on the pitch has also contributed defensively, adding another dimension to the team's set pieces.
