Niclas Fullkrug Out Weeks with Hamstring Injury

West Ham United's striker Niclas Fullkrug will be sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during the FA Cup loss to Aston Villa. This injury adds to the club's woes as captain Jarrod Bowen is out with a fractured foot, and striker Michail Antonio is recovering from surgery after a serious car accident. Fullkrug, who recently returned to the team following an Achilles strain, had scored twice in the league but has struggled with injuries since his move from Borussia Dortmund. New manager Graham Potter now faces an urgent need to find a replacement striker, with potential targets including Evan Ferguson and Marcus Rashford. The team, currently 14th in the Premier League, is set to host Fulham on Tuesday, marking Potter's first league match in charge. The mounting injury crisis poses significant challenges for West Ham as they seek to improve their standings.
