Impact Fullkrug overcame a long-term issue and is now back fully fit and ready to play a full role. Even when fit earlier in the season Fullkrug was more of a bench option than anything else. If Fullkrug can stay fit he could compete for a starting role with Michail Antonio (lower leg) out long-term.

Opens Premier League account Fullkrug scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat versus Leicester City.

Impact Fullkrug was one of West Ham United's lone bright spots in their 3-1 defeat to Leicester City. Despite coming on as a sub and playing just 11 minutes, Fullkrug was able to score a goal from his only shot of the match. The goal was the German's first of the Premier League season. Fullkrug has struggled in his first year at West Ham, playing just four matches and making zero starts. With manager Jalen Lopetegui facing significant pressure in their upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, perhaps Fullkrug will finally see his name on the starting lineup.

Nets in return Fullkrug (calf) scored once off the bench during Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Leicester City.

Impact Fullkrug returned from the calf injury a bit earlier than expected and showed just what West Ham had been missing. He found the back of the net with a nice finish, though it was clearly too little, too late. Fullkrug has failed to displace Michail Antonio as the top striking option for the Hammers, though that could change as they look for any source of goals.

Impact Fullkrug has to be on the brink of a return, as the striker has been ruled out for Tuesday but has only missed out due to his fitness levels, as he looks to have cleared his calf issues. This would be great news for the forward, as he has not appeared in three months. He will likely have to pass a fitness test to be an option for Monday's match against Wolves and he will hope for that to come to fruition, with a bench spot the most probable in his return.

Impact Fullkrug is still set to miss more time, leaving him out beyond the international break.

Impact Fullkrug could remain out until after the international break as he struggles to recover from a calf injury.

Impact Fullkrug is trying new methods to reach a return after spending an extended period on the sidelines due his calf issues.

Impact Fulkrug will continue his tenure on the sidelines, missing a fourth match in a row due to his calf issues. However, he could be in for a return following the international break, with the forward hoping to see a solid recovery spell during the break.

Impact Fullkrug is questionable once again, receiving the same tag he held in Wednesday's match. It appears he will be a late call, with a fitness test deciding his availability, needing to see improvement to get the call.

Impact Fullkrug could finally be making his return Wednesday after sitting out since the September international break due to an Achilles issue, with the forward in contention to play if he passes a late fitness test. He did train this week, which brings confidence he will be healthy, although that is still up in the air. Even if he doesn't return Wednesday, this update should secure a return by Saturday to face Brentford, giving the forward a few more days to heal up.
