Wantaway Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo was absent from the matchday squad once again last weekend as Fulham played out a 0-0 draw against local rivals Brentford.
Cottagers boss Marco Silva explained that the centre-back was available having left him out against Crystal Palace last month, but that he was planning for the future. Adarabioyo's Fulham contract is up this summer and the 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Newcastle United.
Silva said: "He can play. We have three games to play. if I decided he would be on the pitch he would be. It will be my decision always.
"I'm looking for the present. I want to win football matches and be as competitive as we can be. At the same time, we have to prepare for the future of the football club."
While the defender's free transfer exit would be a blow for Fulham, the club could also browse the market for a Premier League centre-back able to join the club without a fee to replace Adarabioyo this summer.
