Antonee Robinson - Comes off bench in friendly Robinson (undisclosed) came off the bench in Wednesday's 2-2 friendly draw against Malaga.

Impact Robinson was announced as a starter before this match but was ultimately replaced by Ryan Sessegnon. However, Robinson came off the bench in the second half, so he doesn't seem to be dealing with any fitness issues. If Robinson is healthy and available for the season opener against Chelsea on Monday, Aug. 24, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets the nod over Sessegnon at left-back.

Shea Charles - Signs five year deal with Fulham Charles has signed a five year contract with Fulham through June 2031, with a club option for an additional year, joining from Southampton, according to the club.

Impact Charles registered eight goal involvements, including six goals and two assists, across 38 appearances for Southampton last season as the club reached the FA Cup semifinals and the playoff final before their expulsion from the latter, following a successful loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday in which he featured in all 46 league matches and was voted the club's Player of the Season. The 22 year old midfielder, a Manchester City academy product who made his Premier League debut under coach Pep Guardiola in 2023, has earned 35 caps for Northern Ireland, including four as captain, and will wear the number 19 shirt as he begins the next chapter of his career.

Impact Garcia looked sharp throughout the match despite failing to record a goal contribution, an encouraging sign given how quickly he has been integrated following his move from Real Madrid. The forward made 30 appearances (nine starts) for Madrid last season, totaling six goals and one assist, and will compete with Rodrigo Muniz for minutes up front this campaign. He is expected to continue building match fitness as Fulham progresses through preseason.

Gonzalo Garcia - Signs with Fulham Garcia has completed a transfer to Fulham from Real Madrid, according to his new club.

Impact Garcia is on the move as he finds a new home in the Premier League, leaving Spain to join up with Fulham on a deal until 2031. The forward found himself starting to get more minutes with Madrid in the 2025/26 season, appearing 30 times (nine starts), while notching six goals and one assist. That said, he was good enough to breakthrough at one of the top club's in the world, likely to lead him to minutes with Fulham quickly. This will give new competition to Rodrigo Muniz at forward heading into the season, with Garcia likely to start on the bench before challenging Muniz for time.

Alex Iwobi - Scores penalty, ready for season Iwobi scored a penalty in Fulham's 2-1 comeback win over Farense to close out the club's preseason camp in Portugal, the club announced.

Impact Iwobi carved open the defense with an incisive pass to Ryan Sessegnon and later equalized from the penalty spot after Emile Smith Rowe won a spot kick. He was arguably Fulham's most reliable performer last season, starting all 29 of his 29 Premier League appearances and racking up 2,434 minutes with four goals, three assists and 44 key passes, adding 41 corners, 27 tackles and 14 interceptions to underline his influence at both ends of the pitch. That well-rounded output has cemented him as one of the more dependable pieces of Fulham's setup, and he now looks fully primed heading into the new campaign. Iwobi is expected to carry that consistency into the season opener and beyond.

Antonee Robinson - Set for left-back role Robinson has reported to Fulham's pre-season camp following the World Cup as he prepares to take on starting duties at left-back.

Impact Robinson is coming off a solid World Cup with the USMNT and has now made his way back to his club, getting set for the 2026/27 season. He is set to start the season at left-back for the club following a delayed start to the 2025/26 campaign due to injuries, something he will look to avoid as the new season approaches. He would record 17 starts in 22 appearances last season while scoring one goal and no assists, a far step down from the 2024/25 season, where he earned 35 starts in 36 appearances and 10 assists, although that is heavily due to his injury. When he is fit and at his best, he has proven he can be one of the better left-backs in the league, especially with his added value on the attack.

Sander Berge - Mixed output in loss Berge generated one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus England.

The central man was quite consistent throughout the tournament, and he completed more than 100 passes in each of his last two matches played. Still, he lacked direct goal involvement, which is the usual case for him given his defensive midfield role.
