Milan Loanee Niclas Füllkrug Breaks Toe, Faces Weeks Out After First Start

The injury stalls his attempt to reboot his form in Italy for a 2026 World Cup push.

Overview

  • Italian reports say he will miss the trip to Como on Thursday and is very likely out against Lecce on Sunday.
  • Milan are eyeing a possible return on January 25 versus Roma, though his availability depends on treatment and pain tolerance.
  • The 32-year-old sustained the fracture during his first start for the club in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Fiorentina.
  • AFP, citing Italian media, reports he has already undergone surgery, with estimates ranging from a few weeks to about a month on the sidelines.
  • Füllkrug is on a season-long loan from West Ham after recent muscle problems there, with a reported summer purchase option of roughly €5 million.
