Meanwhile, Fulham’s chances of getting into the Europa Conference League have gone down a lot because of a string of bad results. They have only won two of their last seven league games, which puts them in 10th place, eight points behind a spot in Europe.
Andreas Pereira’s injury is a big setback for Fulham, and he might not be able to play again for a long time. As the team tries to finish the season strong, they will have to do without one of their most important players. The playmaker will want to get better quickly so he can get back to his team.
