Niclas Füllkrug has returned to the Germany squad, about a year and a half after his last international appearance. The 33-year-old reported to the camp in Herzogenaurach on Monday, alongside debutant Wael Mohya, according to kicker.

At his press conference on Tuesday, Füllkrug said that a certain maturity helps a striker, and described the contact he had with head coach Jürgen Klopp before the call-up, according to kicker and Sport Bild.

Sportschau writes that he could now play a key role in the team and even travel to the European Championship, after missing the 2026 World Cup following a weak season.
