Fulham to assess trio ahead of Brighton trip with two players definitely sidelined

Fulham will assess Willian, Antonee Robinson and Aleksandar Mitrovic ahead of this weekend. The Cottagers are back in Premier League action with a tricky away trip to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Two players who are definitely out of action are Neeskens Kebano and Tom Cairney. The latter is expected to be sidelined for around three weeks with an ankle injury.

Fulham are only behind 6th place Seagulls on goal difference and would leapfrog the Sussex club with a win at the AMEX Stadium. The pair are only four points off the top five and are both dreaming of European football next season.

Marco Silva has provided this latest injury update regarding his squad: “We have one more day to prepare for the game so we will see as there are a couple of players who have knocks. At this moment Tom Cairney and Neeskens Kebano are the only players unavailable.”

Willian, who has been a hit since making the switch to Craven Cottage last summer, limped off against Nottingham Forest last time out, whereas Robinson and Mitrovic both have picked up minor knocks but the trio are all expected to be in the squad.

Fulham handed debuts to January signings Sasa Lukic and Cedric Soares last Saturday. The pair both came off the bench as the Whites beat Forest 2-0.
