CLUB-BY-CLUB GUIDE
FULHAM
Long-term absentees Manor Solomon (knee) and Harry Wilson (knee) remain out, while Marco Silva admitted on Wednesday that it would be “difficult” for Antonee Robinson (ankle) to recover in time for Gameweek 8.
“Still in doubt. It will be difficult, I have to be honest. We still have some more hours until the game and we have to check him, like we are doing every single day, and we have to take the decision.” – Marco Silva on Antonee Robinson
Summer signing Layvin Kurzawa could make his Fulham debut in Robinson’s absence.
“In that moment [in Gameweek 6], he wasn’t fit. He had just signed. Kurzawa was a different situation than Vinnie [Carlos Vinicius], Daniel James, players who had a pre-season, who played friendly matches or official matches. Kurzawa didn’t have a pre-season with his teammates [at PSG]. He was apart from the group. Of course, it would take time after the Tottenham game. It’s been 15 days and now the situation is different. It’s up to me to decide [to select him].” – Marco Silva on Layvin Kurzawa
