Niclas Fullkrug has hinted that he could be back in action for West Ham “soon”.

West Ham have recently been dealt a massive blow as their hopes of signing Jhon Duran are all but over. The striker has been in incredible form this season, leaving the Hammers wishing they had coughed up the money, and he’s been rewarded with a new contract which lasts until 2030.

This pain is only made worse by the fact that the striker they did sign, Niclas Fullkrug, has been out injured since the last international break.

It seems like his return date just keeps getting set back further and further, but the German has recently dropped a huge hint that he may be available sooner rather than later.

After the Ipswich game, he posted a picture of him at the stadium with the caption: “Big win at home! Can’t wait to be back! Soon.”

Not only is him being at the game an extremely good look, but the fact he’s used the word “soon” suggests that he may be available straight after the international break. In the games he was fit, we didn’t see the best of him, but he has the ability to become a vital player under Julen Lopetegui – hopefully he can be used to the fullest.
