Werder Bremen striker Niclas Füllkrug was named the Bundesliga’s player of the month for October on Thursday after scoring six goals in four league matches. The league said he had nine goals through eight rounds, the most by a Bremen player at that stage of a Bundesliga season.

Füllkrug also scored in seven consecutive league games, a Bremen streak last matched by Rudi Völler in 1982-83. He finished ahead of Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise, the September winner, and four other nominees. Füllkrug is back in the Germany squad for Nations League games against Serbia on Friday and the Netherlands on Monday.
