Hanover:- Germany striker Niclas Füllkrug has said that he is close to returning to action again in an injury-plagued season at his new club West Ham United. “I am on a good path. I am back in team training. I am being led slowly, it was a lengthy injury,” Füllkrug told Sky TV on Saturday. Füllkrug joined West Ham last summer from Borussia Dortmund but first suffered an Achilles tendon injury. He returned in December but has been sidelined again for two months with a thigh injury. Füllkrug used the international break for a visit to his home country. He visited the national team on Wednesday ahead of their first Nations League quarter-final against Italy, and was at former club Werder Bremen on Saturday to attend a testimonial match for ex-Bremen playmaker Diego.
