Injured Füßlkrug visits German team before Italy match

Niclas Füllkrug, a forward for Germany, missed the national team squad due to a hamstring injury. Despite this setback, he traveled to Dortmund to meet his teammates before their upcoming match against Italy in the UEFA Nations League. Füllkrug joined the team for a meal at Acqua, a familiar restaurant from his time at Borussia Dortmund. The 32-year-old also participated in a team photo during the gathering. He will attend the final training session in Brackel on Wednesday but will not play in Milan. This season, Füllkrug has missed 21 games for West Ham United, struggling with both an Achilles and a hamstring injury. Reports indicate he hopes to return to his club after the international break. If he proves fit, he may still be considered for future selections by the national team coach, Julian Nagelsmann.
