Exclusive: Top West Ham Source Gives C&H Depressing Update on Fullkrug Return. Earlier today, Claret & Hugh exclusively revealed that striker Niclas Fullkrug would be flying back to the UK to attend Sunday’s West Ham vs Manchester United Premier League clash.
The news came from the highest-placed sources at the London Stadium, who later clarified the update. While Fullkrug will be present for the high-pressure EPL fixture, the club still has no idea when he’ll return from injury to actually play.
The German international travelled back to his homeland earlier this week for treatment in a bid to heal his ongoing injury, but it seems West Ham are uncertain whether the treatment was successful.

Speaking earlier this evening, the high-placed Hammers source was keen to temper expectations, saying, “We have no idea when he will be available to return to play.”
This statement contrasts with Tim Steidten’s close associate in the press-Florian Plettenberg, who provided a more optimistic update, suggesting that Fullkrug could be set to resume training within the coming days.
Reading between the lines, I’d expect a November 25th return against Newcastle as the best-case scenario.
