West Ham United to Receive FIFA Compensation for Niclas Fullkrug Injury

West Ham United striker Niclas Fullkrug’s prolonged recovery from a foot injury sustained while on international duty with Germany has prompted FIFA’s Club Protection Programme to compensate the club.

Fullkrug, signed to address West Ham’s striker woes, has played only an hour of football this season due to the injury. Initially diagnosed as a badly bruised foot, his return to training has been hindered by setbacks, pushing his expected return to after the international break.

The FIFA Club Protection Programme, an insurance policy covering player wages when injured on international duty, will compensate West Ham for Fullkrug’s wages starting October 6. The first 28 days of absence are not covered.

Key implications:

• Fullkrug’s injury recovery slower than expected.
• West Ham to receive FIFA compensation for wages.
• Club Protection Programme activates after 28-day period.
• Fullkrug’s absence exacerbates West Ham’s striker shortage.

With Michail Antonio and Danny Ings shouldering the goal-scoring responsibility, West Ham’s attacking vulnerabilities have resurfaced. The compensation will alleviate some financial burden but won’t offset the loss of Fullkrug’s services.

West Ham’s decision not to secure another backup forward in the summer transfer window has come back to haunt them, leaving them reliant on Antonio and Ings to drive their Premier League campaign.
