West Ham United have only just waved goodbye to Niclas Füllkrug and, somehow, the striker has already managed to make headlines again… And the Italian press are calling it “incredible”.

Just days after leaving West Ham, Füllkrug picked up an injury at his new club. He has broken a toe almost immediately after arriving in Serie A. As a result, his start in Italy has stopped before it really began.

The German forward joined AC Milan on loan, with an option to buy worth around £4.3m (€5m). AC Milan expected him to add experience and physical presence up front. Instead, he landed straight on the injury list.

Calciomercato report that Füllkrug fractured a toe on his foot and now faces several weeks out. Current expectations point to at least a month on the sidelines for the Germany international. Further medical checks will still follow, but the outlook looks clear for now.
