From the source

VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß has offered his assessment of the contrasting fortunes of German strikers Deniz Undav and Niclas Füllkrug ahead of Saturday’s Bundesliga encounter with Werder Bremen.

While Füllkrug has celebrated a return to the national team following an extraordinary start to the season, Stuttgart captain Undav continues to await his first Bundesliga goal of the 2026/27 campaign.

The two forwards enjoyed considerably different fortunes when Jürgen Klopp announced his 24-man Germany squad for the November international window on Thursday. Füllkrug, 33, earned his first call-up since September 2025 after scoring nine Bundesliga goals in eight appearances for Bremen.
