"As Quotidiano Sportivo recall, Füllkrug took to the field against Lecce loaded up with painkillers (as he did in Como last Thursday) to ease the discomfort following a broken toe, which would have suggested rest for anyone. He played the final minutes of the match at San Siro, clearing his mind of the bad thoughts and anger that had built up since Friday after discovering the shock theft in the hotel suite where he's temporarily staying."
"In the end, against a resilience Lecce, he deserved credit for scoring the only goal in a must-win match. It was a headed goal that further explains why Milan needed a centre-forward like him and why the coach had been waiting for one since August. It's been, for better or worse, Füllkrug's week. Thanks to the German's header, the Rossoneri are still within striking distance and are keeping the Scudetto dream alive in the minds of the fans (and not only them)."
Niclas Füllkrug joined AC Milan and quickly demonstrated impact by playing through pain from a broken toe with the help of painkillers. He endured anger after a theft in his temporary hotel suite but still appeared in the final minutes at San Siro and scored the only goal in a must-win match with a header. His arrival added physicality and a consistent penalty-area presence late in games, addressing a previous team deficiency. Massimiliano Allegri praised the enthusiasm of his signing, and teammates welcomed him on social media, indicating smooth dressing-room integration.
