Defender Alfie Mawson has handed Fulham an injury boost by returning to training this week ahead of Sunday’s match with Arsenal.
West London Sport report that the 24-year-old will be included in the matchday 18 having missed the last two matches with a knock.
Mawson joined the club from relegated Swansea City in the summer in a deal reported to be worth £20m having been one of the Welsh club’s standout players.
The centre-back has made three Premier League appearances for the Cottagers this campaign, with boss Slavisa Jokanovic choosing to rotate his central defenders on a regular basis.
Tim Ream and Denis Odoi were chosen to play from the start of the club’s 3-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park last weekend.
The defence will endure more changes this weekend with the news that full-backs Joe Bryan and Timothy Fosu-Mensah will both miss the Gunners match through injury.
Bryan is struggling with a hamstring injury while Fosu-Mensah has a dislocated shoulder.
On the Whites’ injury troubles, Jokanovic said:
Mawson is working with us all week and is part of the squad. Bryan has a hamstring problem and Fosu-Mensah has a shoulder dislocation and will need some few weeks to be ready
