Unfortunately, the area is a bit problematic because it's the transition to the Achilles tendon at the bottom of the calf," Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann said on Tuesday.Fuellkrug was left out as a precautionary measure to avoid long-term consequences for the striker. "If something were to happen, it would be long-term.

That's why we're not taking any risks," added Nagelsmann."He will have to take a few days off. He will not be playing in the Premier League at the weekend."Fuellkrug was in the starting lineup for Germany's 5-0 Nations League win over Hungary in Duesseldorf last Saturday and scored the opening goal.

But he has yet to find the net for his new English club after three matches this season. (Writing by Mark Gleeson in Cape Town; Editing by Ken Ferris)
