Fulhamvs.Ipswich

sportsmole.co.uk, 3 January 2025, 18:24
Fulham will be without four players for Sunday's Premier League clash with Ipswich Town at Craven Cottage.

While Kenny Tete (knee) remains a long-term absentee, Sander Berge (ankle) is "going to be closer" to a return than Reiss Nelson (hamstring) according to head coach Marco Silva, although both players are not ready to return this weekend.

Harrison Reed (knee) has returned to team training, but Sunday's game will come too soon for the midfielder, so Andreas Pereira and Sasa Lukic are set to continue in the middle of the pitch.

Silva has deployed a three-at-the-back system with wing-backs in the last two matches, with Fulham picking up four points in that time, and the Portuguese will seemingly stick with the same formation against Ipswich.

Issa Diop, Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey are therefore set to continue in central defence, protecting goalkeeper Bernd Leno, as Timothy Castagne and Antonee Robinson operate on the flanks.

Harry Wilson has scored in each of his last two appearances and will hope to start again in a front three alongside Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez, although Emile Smith Rowe, Adama Traore and Rodrigo Muniz will all be hoping to force their way into the first XI.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Diop, Andersen, Bassey; Castagne, Pereira, Lukic, Robinson; Wilson, Jimenez, Iwobi
