Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug has picked up an Achilles tendon injury at the weekend and is a doubt for Tuesday’s Nations League clash against the Netherlands, coach Julian Nagelsmann said on the eve of the match.

“It is not yet clear whether he can play,” Nagelsmann told a Monday press conference before the Germans had a final training session at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

But for the rest Germany are likely to limit the changes after they beat Hungary 5-0 in Dusseldorf on Saturday in their opening Nations League Group A3 fixture.

The 31-year-old Fullkrug, who moved to West Ham United after the European Championship, scored the opening goal in the comfortable win for Germany.
