Germany great Lothar Matthäus has called for the return of Niclas Füllkrug to the national team.
"The numbers speak for him, even if he's at a certain age. Jürgen Klopp wants to rejuvenate the national team, but the young players still have too much fluctuation in their performance," Matthäus wrote in his column for broadcaster Sky on Sunday evening.
"A experienced player such as Füllkrug would bring in a good feeling," he added.
Füllkrug returned to Werder Bremen this season, a club he left in 2023 to join Borussia Dortmund. In 2024, he moved to West Ham, but struggled due to injuries.
He's at Bremen on a loan from the Premier League side and has scored seven goals in seven games across all competitions so far.
