Travels to Milan
Fullkrug (thigh) was spotted in Milan to undergo a medical to sign on loan with the Italian club, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Fullkrug has been sidelined for the last two games due to a thigh injury and will likely not play for West Ham United again this season, as he was authorized to travel to Milan to undergo a medical ahead of a potential loan spell with the Italians for the second part of the season. That said, it remains to be seen whether the striker truly has an injury or simply was not in the coach's plans.
