Show featured image from shortcode - Currently only have title and excerpt

I currently have a function pulled from WPBeginner which allows me to create a shortcode which pulls the stickied posts on the site wherever I want.

I am in need of this to also show the featured image but not sure how to get this to work currently. The current shortcode is below:

function wpb_latest_sticky() { 

/* Get all sticky posts */
$sticky = get_option( 'sticky_posts' );

/* Sort the stickies with the newest ones at the top */
rsort( $sticky );

/* Get the 5 newest stickies (change 5 for a different number) */
$sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 0, 1 );

/* Query sticky posts */
$the_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1 ) );
// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
    $return .= '<ul>';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        $the_query->the_post();
        $return .= '<li><a href="' .get_permalink(). '" title="'  . get_the_title() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a><br />' . get_the_excerpt(). '</li>';

    }
    $return .= '</ul>';

} else {
    // no posts found
}
/* Restore original Post Data */
wp_reset_postdata();

return $return; 

} 
add_shortcode('latest_stickies', 'wpb_latest_sticky');

This is how I pull it on post pages:

 <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() && !is_search() ) { ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( sprintf( esc_html__( 'Permalink to ', 'quark' ) . '%s', the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ); ?>">
                <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'post_feature_full_width' ); ?>
            </a>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
    $the_query->the_post();
    $return .= '<li><a href="' .get_permalink(). '" title="'  . get_the_title() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a><br />' . get_the_excerpt() . '<br/>' . get_the_post_thumbnail() . '</li>';

}
