Hammers striker Niclas Füllkrug will not be in the matchday squad for the Newcastle United vs West Ham Premier League fixture on Monday night.
Claret & Hugh has been informed by our top West Ham source that the German striker will not make the bench for the away fixture at St. James’ Park.
Furthermore, the Hammers insider has also revealed that they have no idea when the German striker will return to action for the Irons.
This means Füllkrug will miss what amounts to a must-win game for Hammers gaffer Julen Lopetegui, who is under increasing pressure and close to losing his job as head coach.
Mohammed Kudus, the team’s second-highest scorer, will miss the next two games due to suspension, while Jarrod Bowen leads the team in goals scored with three.
The question of just when Füllkrug will recuperate and be cleared to play is raised by the exclusive news. Originally predicted to miss only three weeks, the £27 million summer acquisition from Dortmund was hurt while playing for his country in September.
