Fulham vs Wolves injury news with 4 players out and 3 doubts

Fulham return after the international break with a clash against a struggling Wolves side who earnt their first win of the season in their last Premier League outing against Southampton. Marco Silva will be pleased with his side’s recent form as they are unbeaten in three matches winning their last two with a 2-1 victory against Brentford and a 2-0 triumph over Crystal Palace.

It left the Cottagers seventh in the Premier League with 18 points and just one point off Arsenal and Chelsea in fourth and third place, respectively. They are 10 points away from league leaders Liverpool after 11 matches. They have emerged as a contender for European football come the end of the campaign. Even better news for Marco Silva is that they go into the game against Wolves on Saturday with a relatively fit squad, whereas their opponents have several more injury problems than they do.

Fulham injury news

The only player for the Cottagers who could be out of the game on Saturday is midfielder Sasa Lukic who is dealing with a shoulder injury. He sustained the issue in the October international break after Fulham’s 3-2 defeat against Manchester City. He has missed the last four games.

There is a chance that he will be able to play against Wolves on Saturday as he is currently being assessed over whether he is ready. Lukic is back in training and will hope that he’ll be ready to line up on Saturday afternoon at Craven Cottage.

Fulham players in doubt - Sasa Lukic

Wolves injury news

Whereas Fulham aren’t struggling with injury, Wolves have more issues going into the game on Saturday afternoon. Firstly, Yerson Mosquera underwent knee surgery in October after suffering an injury shortly before. Manager Gary O’Neil said: “It’s really early days, and I don’t want to put a definitive time scale on it, but everything went very well with the surgery. Over the next days and weeks, we’ll start to really map out what the rehab looks like.” He won’t be back until the new year.

Furthermore, 19-year-old Enso Gonzalez will also miss the game with a long-term knee injury that he is recovering from. He will be out of the remainder of the season. Sasa Kalajdzic will also miss the game on Saturday with a knee issue that he suffered in February and underwent surgery to fix. He is back in training as Gary O’Neil said: “He's back on the grass, which is great for him. He's now starting to get to the more functional aspects of his rehab.”

Midfielder Boubacar Traore is also out with a knee injury. He has been sidelined for over two months and is expected to return around the Christmas period for Wolves. There are two Wolves players in doubt for Saturday including attacker Hee-Chan Hwang who suffered an ankle ligament injury in the October international break. He is currently being assessed ahead of the game at Craven Cottage and could return this weekend.

Finally, Bastien Menadjou is also a doubt for the game as he is back in training with the team and is currently being assessed but it is unlikely that he would be selected for the game on Saturday either way.
