AMSTERDAM : Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug has picked up an Achilles tendon injury at the weekend and is a doubt for Tuesday’s Nations League clash against the Netherlands, coach Julian Nagelsmann said on the eve of the match.

But for the rest Germany are likely to limit the changes after they beat Hungary 5-0 in Dusseldorf on Saturday in their opening Nations League Group A3 fixture. “We are not thinking about changing much. There are certainly things we can do similarly. But it is a different opponent with a different style of play,” said Nagelsmann, adding he may start the Bayern Munich defensive midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic.Nagelsmann also admitted concerns that goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen would quit the team ahead of the European Championship after being told veteran Manfred Neuer would be first choice for the tournament in June and July.
"The conversation wasn't particularly pleasant. Marc took it well and accepted the decision. But I was briefly concerned that he would say I'm not going along with it. That would have been a shame."
