Fulham vs West Ham injury news with five out and one doubtful

Fulham and West Ham will both be looking to return to winning ways this weekend in the Premier League. The Cottagers lost 2-1 away at AFC Bournemouth last time out.

The Hammers, on the other hand, were thumped 5-1 at home by Newcastle United on Wednesday night. Here is a look at some of the latest team news regarding the pair...

Fulham are without suspended pair Aleksandar Mitrovic and Willian ahead of their clash against David Moyes’ side. Winger Neeskens Kebano is also out of action still as he fights back from his ACL injury.

Layvin Kurzawa also has a knee problem and has been sidelined for the past few weeks with it yet to be known when he will be back in the fold. Marco Silva won’t want to take any risks with the left-back with USA international Antonee Robinson playing regularly in his position.

On Mitrovic’s absence, Moyes said: “Mitrovic has done amazing for Fulham. He scored goals for them in the Championship and he’s gone on to show he can do it for them in the Premier League. I’m sure it’s a huge blow for Fulham to not have him.”

As for West Ham, striker Gianluca Scamacca is still in the treatment room with a knee injury and is expected back later this month. He made the switch to the London Stadium last summer and has since scored three goals in the league and eight in all competitions.

Apart from that, the Hammers have no fresh concerns and have a pretty clean bill of health which is a boost to their survival hopes. Right-back Vladimir Coufal is back available now and came off the bench in the heavy loss to Newcastle so is an option.
