Overview
- Füllkrug was substituted on in the 73rd minute of Germany's win in Belgrade and reached his 25th international appearance on Saturday, after which captain Joshua Kimmich presented him a medal on the team flight.
- The striker has 14 goals for Germany and returned to the squad after nearly one and a half years away from international duty.
- Füllkrug's recall rests on a hot start at Werder Bremen, where he has scored nine Bundesliga goals in nine games and broke a club scoring-run record.
- Coaches and commentators say his high work rate, pressing and willingness to play a linking 'with-playing' striker role make him useful to Klopp both as a starter and as an impact substitute.
- Germany play the Netherlands in Berlin on Monday, 16 November 2026 at 20:45 CET on ARD with a win set to secure progression to the Nations League quarterfinals and with Füllkrug a candidate for minutes or a late-game substitute.
