Fullkrug jokes with reporter after being asked about toe injury: "There's no mystery!"

"There's no mystery, it's a broken toe. You just have to deal with the pain, you just have to deal with the situation. I'm German, so we are strong, we can deal with pain, so you just have to find solutions. We found some good solutions, and I can deal with that so it's good. I don't want to miss a game for AC Milan."

"It has not been the easiest of times settling into Italy for Füllkrug. After impressing in his first couple of appearances off the bench, it looked like the striker was then facing a lengthy setback after sustaining a broken toe in the recent draw with Fiorentina. The initial reports spoke of a month out, which then changed to around 10 days, before the German miraculously appeared on the bench for the next game against Como."

Niclas Füllkrug scored the winning goal for AC Milan against Lecce, his first for the club. He has struggled to settle in Italy amid injury and off-field issues. He suffered a broken toe in the draw with Fiorentina, with recovery estimates varying between a month and around ten days. Valuable items totaling €500k were stolen from his hotel safe on the eve of the Lecce match. He returned to the bench for Como and then appeared against Lecce, managing pain through medical solutions and insisting he does not want to miss games for AC Milan.
