Footfullcite not showing when used within a wrapfigure

Question

I'm using the wrapfig package for a figure that wraps itself around the text and biblatex for all my citing with these parameters:

\usepackage[backend=biber,
        style=numeric,
        sorting=none,
        sortlocale=de_DE,
]{biblatex}

Now when I want to place the picture I use this code:

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0.55\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.55\textwidth]{picture}
\footfullcite{somedude}
\end{wrapfigure}

Using this code, the picture places where I want and the little 1 indicating that I want to cite this is at the bottom right corner. The problem is that in the footnotes the 1 doesn't appear. It just shows the over foot citations.
I get no error or anything to debug this.
(citation key and picture path is also right)

Welcome to TeX.SX! Footnotes in floats are never easy. Does https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/41626/35864 help? More generally there is https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/10181/35864. If not it would be appreciated if you could show us an MWE so we have something to get started. — moewe, Mar 14 '18 at 15:33

In general you can't use \footnote{lorem ipsum} from within a float, see Using \footnote in a figure's \caption. Instead you issue \footnotemark within the float and \footnotetext{lorem ipsum} after the figure.

In this case biblatex issues the \footnote command for you, so you need a way to make it use \footnotetext instead. In fact a version of \footcite that uses \footnotetext already exists: \footcitetext. We just make our own version of \footfullcite that uses \footnotetext and call it \footfullcitetext.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, backend=biber]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareCiteCommand{\footfullcitetext}[\mkbibfootnotetext]
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\usedriver
     {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
     {\thefield{entrytype}}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0.55\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.55\textwidth]{example-image-a}
\footnotemark
\end{wrapfigure}\footfullcitetext{sigfridsson}
\lipsum[2-3]
\printbibliography
\end{document}
