Today’s injury update for Fulham striker Aleksander Mitrovic includes a return date after he was ruled out with an ankle injury
Mitrovic had to leave the field during the first half of the Fulham game against Newcastle due to an ankle injury. Fulham failed to register a shot on target after Mitrovic left the field until the 68th minute. Silva spoke during the press conference after the game and said:
Certainly, it’s too soon to evaluate him, but we weren’t sure if Mitro would be in decent physical shape. After yesterday’s evaluation, we were good to go. Aleksandar Mitrovic was injured during the international game, according to Marco Silva. “Four additional injured players caused us to make adjustments; let’s hope they get well so we can be better next week.”

Before travelling to Craven Cottage, New Castle had only one win in the Premier League this season. Fulham was reduced to ten men after Nathaein Chalobah was sent off in the eighth minute. Callum Wilson scored New Catle’s first goal shortly after Fulham was reduced to ten men. Alimoran scored the second goal with a stunning volley from the edge of the box. Sean Longstaff scored New Castle’s third goal just before halftime. Alimoran’s brilliant performance in the second half provided New Castle with the fourth goal and his second of the game.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored a close-range goal for Fulham in injury time as Newcastle’s defending skills deteriorated. Despite the fact that Marco Silva’s team had surpassed Newcastle in the table thanks to some strong performances, the four substitutions due to injuries proved crucial. With a significantly altered lineup from their previous Premier League match, Newcastle got off to a strong start and struck the woodwork in the opening five minutes.
Whereas the timing of Mitrovic’s comeback to the team is uncertain, the Fulham squad is undoubtedly worried about him. Fulham will now travel to London Stadium for their next game against West Ham United.
