After Missing Last Weekend, Fullback Available for Trip to Villa Park
Good news for Fulham as American left-back Antonee Robinson is available for selection ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Villa Park. The 26-year-old defender missed last weekend's thrilling 2-1 victory over Southampton due to a knee problem but has now recovered and returned to training.
Robinson's return is crucial for Marco Silva's side, who will still be without Rodrigo Muniz and Reiss Nelson due to muscle and thigh injuries, respectively. The USMNT international is expected to slot straight back into the starting lineup, likely forming a defensive quartet alongside Calvin Bassey, Joachim Andersen and Kenny Tete.
Robinson's availability allows Ryan Sessegnon, who scored the dramatic stoppage-time winner against Southampton, to move further forward into an attacking role. The tactical flexibility provided by Robinson's return gives Silva more options as Fulham look to build on their impressive form.
Despite recent transfer speculation linking Robinson with a potential move to Liverpool as a replacement for the aging Andrew Robertson, the defender remains focused on helping Fulham finish the season strongly. His defensive stability and attacking contributions will be vital against an Aston Villa side still fighting for Champions League qualification.
