Fulham vs West Ham early injury news as 4 ruled out and 3 doubts

Fulham and West Ham return to action on Wednesday when they face off at Craven Cottage. Fulham picked up a big win over the weekend, defeating Tottenham to remain in the thick of the European race, now three points off the final European spot, though eighth could also become a European place under the new format.

West Ham are still in the thick of the relegation battle, but their defeat to Liverpool did not cost them, with the three teams directly above them all losing as well. Nottingham Forest face Manchester City during the week, so this will be seen as an opportunity for the Hammers. Here we round up all the early injury news surrounding both teams heading into this one.

Kevin - Out

Kevin is now out for the season, with Marco Silva having said: “Kevin, as was the feeling after the game, is serious and is going to be out. We are waiting, but probably, he is going to have surgery next Monday, and is going to be out for some weeks. It is the metatarsal, but soon we are going to have more feedback from our medical staff.”

Joachim Andersen - Doubt

Andersen has been dealing with illness and will be battling to return here.

Harry Wilson - Doubt

Wilson has picked up a small injury, with Silva explaining: “At half-time, he gave us the feedback that we probably have to change. He kept going, but it was very difficult for him in the last 20 minutes to support [the team]. He twisted the ankle a bit. Let's see how it's going to be in the next few days.” Wilson will be assessed here, but there is a tight turnaround.

Sasa Lukic - Doubt

Silva said recently: “Sasa and the others have been in and out [of training], but [are] back in contention. They have had a good week so far, and of course, we have another session before the game to take decisions.” Lukic has been due to return but he hasn’t managed it yet, so he will remain a doubt.

Freddie Potts - Out (Suspended)

Potts is out until mid-March following his red card in the FA Cup.

Pablo Felipe - Out

Santo has said: “We have to go day-by-day and assess him. Getting better each day, and hopefully, he can join us soon.” It’s expected the calf injury will keep Pablo out for a couple of weeks at least.

Lukasz Fabianski - Out

Fabianski is finally back in training but it will take some time to be ready to play, and he is not likely to be one of the top two options in any case.
