Overview
- The 33-year-old forward has scored in six consecutive Bundesliga matches and delivered a brace from two penalties in Werder’s 3-2 win at Mainz on Sunday.
- Füllkrug returned to Werder this summer on loan from West Ham and says he has regained fitness and form under coach Daniel Thioune.
- Thioune called Füllkrug the team’s “lighthouse,” and his goals have helped Bremen go six matches unbeaten and record their best start to a Bundesliga season in eight years.
- Jürgen Klopp has publicly noted Füllkrug’s scoring but highlighted his age, Füllkrug has downplayed interest in a DFB recall, and November’s internationals remain a possible but uncertain selection window.
- Füllkrug is closing in on Rudi Völler’s club record of seven straight scoring games and can match that mark in the next fixture at Hoffenheim, a milestone that would deepen his club revival and raise further selection questions.
