Fulham could be missing seven

[HappyasLarry]

Fulham could be without as many as seven players at Blackpool on Saturday.

Apart from long-term injuries to Kenny Tete, Tom Cairney and Terence Kongolo, there is also a raft of international players causing concern.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has returned from duty with a black eye and “another issue” according to Whites boss Marco Silva.

USA players Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson are not due back in the UK until Thursday afternoon from a long-haul trip against Honduras, and Harry Wilson is to be assessed over a possible concussion playing for Wales.
“How many are out? That’s a good question,” said Silva.
“Mitro returned yesterday and has a couple of issues.

“The American players should be with us tomorrow and we’ll see how they are.
“As for Harry Wilson; I’m not the man to ask. I have to leave that to our medical staff to make that decision.
“We’re going to have to wait on all of them before making final decisions.”

I noticed Wildon went off before half time with blurred vision. Isn't there a 7 day concussion protocol?

I bet most , if not all, will be available

Totally agree .. it always seems to be BFC who have players who never make it !!

Can't possibly see Robinson or Ream being available as their last match finished early Thursday morning in Honduras and that's about a 10 hour flight back to London, coupled with the fact that it's an away match.

Robinson is arguably the best LB in the Championship so Fulham missing him could be huge.

Connolly is probably relieved that he won't be able to play against Robinson, I'm surprised that Fulham were able to keep hold of him.

Could be a bad thing for us, as, the ones who come in will be wanting to prove they are good enough for the first team whereas the normal guys may have it in their heads that it's only little Blackpool and relax a little!

Similarly, How many are we missing?

 

[Athers]

Cool. Only a 2 or 3-1 loss instead of 5-1 then

Magnificent ️

If Mitrovic is out it'll be a big blown for them but I doubt a black eye keeps him out, unless this other issue is enough.

 

[CGP1]

Mitro has black eye?

Someone probably tw@ted him for missing another sitter.

Ever Yarkshire, half full. "Do it for Blackpool!"

My £20 at 5-1 is basically free money.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Bet any money that Mitrovic is playing

 

[Tangerine_Dream]

Connolly will be suspended won't he, and even if he wasn't - i doubt he'll start at right back again for us, unless injuries dictate.

We are 5/1 at home, its just too big to ignore. Worth a tenner of anyone's money.
