Milambo (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Henry (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. A. Hickey (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful.

Impact Summary

Brentford’s absences are concentrated in midfield, potentially disrupting control and supply lines to Thiago, whose 21 goals form a major share of their attacking output. Fulham lose depth in attack through Kevin and may have to adjust their defensive balance if K. Tete does not feature, but with H. Wilson and R. Jiménez both fit, their primary goal threat and creativity remain intact.
