Niclas Füllkrug unhappy with substitute role at Werder

Werder Bremen striker Niclas Füllkrug has admitted he's not happy with his current situation.
Niclas Füllkrug has expressed dissatisfaction with his situation at 2. Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.

The 28-year-old forward has had to settle for a place on the bench in recent weeks, with Marvin Ducksch currently being the preferred option up front for 'The Green-Whites'.

"I feel like I'm the loser in the current situation. It's of course not satisfactory," admitted Füllkrug in an interview with Bremen-based publication Deichstube and continued:

"For me, it not just about the status of being a starter. I really go to the stadium and think: 'Awesome, I'm going to play football'. If you only come on late in games, it's sobering.

"Of course I want to play, preferably always and from the start. But to do that, I have to deliver."

Füllkrug has found the net 13 times in 66 appearances for Werder.
