Hugo Larsson - Back on bench Larsson (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.

Impact Larsson earned a spot in the squad after joining Fulham on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, with coach Alvaro Arbeloa reversing his initial ruling out of the midfielder during the press conference to confirm he could make the matchday squad for the Crystal Palace fixture. The midfielder made 32 appearances for Frankfurt last season across the Bundesliga and Champions League, contributing two goals and two assists, and a bench role represents a manageable first step in his integration at his new club.

David Affengruber - Makes bench Saturday Affengruber (not injury related) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.

Impact Affengruber earned a spot in the squad for his potential Fulham debut after joining as a late summer signing from Elche, with coach Alvaro Arbeloa confirming he could make the bench despite initially ruling him out before reversing course in the same press conference. The defender averaged 4.9 clearances, 2.1 tackles and 5.1 duels won per game in LaLiga last season, and his presence among the substitutes adds a useful option to Fulham's defensive depth. Arbeloa made clear he will need time to integrate before factoring into the starting rotation, with Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey expected to continue as the established center-back pairing.

Impact Larsson recently joined Fulham on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt, with a pathway toward a long term deal, having dealt with an injury over the initial days of the season after a solid 2025/26 campaign that saw him make 32 appearances with two goals and two assists between the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Impact De Fougerolles had missed the recent match against Sunderland after being forced off in the EFL Cup win over Wimbledon following a heavy challenge, with Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey starting together in central defense during his absence.

Hugo Larsson - Loaned to Fulham Larsson (muscular) will spend a loan spell at Fulham from Eintracht Frankfurt before being linked on a long-term contract, according to the club's official website.

Impact Larsson has been dealing with an injury over the initial days of the season but is expected to recover and aim to play a role for Fulham in upcoming weeks. The central midfielder is coming off a solid 2025/26 campaign, recording 32 appearances (27 starts) between Bundesliga and Champions League competitions. Over that period, he scored two goals and two assists while also getting involved in defensive and possession tasks. Both Sander Berge and Alex Iwobi will see their playing time threatened by the new signing, with the latter possibly being pushed to a more offensive role.

Bernd Leno - Three saves in loss Leno registered three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Sunderland.

Impact Leno stopped three of the four shots he faced during Sunday's loss, but it wasn't enough in a day where his offense failed to even put a shot on goal. With no support coming from the front, Leno's lone goal conceded proved to be too much to overcome, and left him with the loss during Sunday's match.

Oscar Bobb - Single cross in loss Bobb had one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sunderland.

Impact Bobb sent in a single cross from one corner during Sunday's loss. The winger was brought in to be a consistent threat and he hasn't really done that. He shows flashes at times, but hasn't been a major goalscoring threat with this new look Fulham attack. As they continue to gel together, Bobb's situation could improve.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Sander Berge - Off day Berge recorded no stats in Sunday's 1-0 defeat versus Sunderland.

Impact Berge got the start Sunday, and did absolutely nothing with it during a very disappointing performance. It was just a day to forget, not that Berge has anything to remember it for. He will hope to bounce back against Crystal Palace, where any sort of spark would be an improvement.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Calvin Bassey - Busy in backline Bassey had one tackle (zero won), four clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Sunderland.

Impact Bassey was busy defensively throughout Sunday's clash, he piled up defensive contributions and was a big contributor in keeping the match close. In the end the attack offered little threat and Bassey's work was undone by a single goal. With the attack struggling there could be plenty of pressure on Bassey.

Antonee Robinson - Inefficient in loss Robinson recorded four crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Sunderland.

Impact Robinson sent in four poor crosses during Sunday's loss, also making three tackles in the match. It wasn't a great showing by the full-back, as he struggled to make anything happen. The defender will hope to bounce back against Crystal Palace after such a disappointing showing in the second match of the season.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Joachim Andersen - Busy defensively Andersen had seven clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Sunderland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th minute.

Impact Andersen made seven clearances and was busy throughout Sunday's loss, working tirelessly to try and maintain the clean sheet. In the end he was unable to do so, despite avoiding a second yellow throughout the second half. It was a good performance from the big center-back, as he remains the anchor in the backline.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Iwobi - Three crosses Sunday Iwobi generated one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Sunderland.

Impact Iwobi took three crosses but failed to create a chance during Sunday's loss. It was a day to forget for the entire Fulham starting XI, as they were totally outdone by the workrate of Sunderland. Iwobi did maintain a role on set-pieces, which helps keep his floor stable moving forward.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Garcia - Wasteful in loss Gonzalo Garcia generated three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sunderland.

Impact Garcia took three shots but was wasteful with them. He failed to put a single one on goal on a day where Fulham failed to test the Sunderland net even once. It was a frustrating day for the striker, who is clearly being given the chance to shine with his new club now. If he can start finding some consistency he could have some good upside.

Chibuzo Nwoko - Signs new Fulham contract Nwoko has signed a new contract with Fulham through the summer of 2028, with the club holding an option for an additional season.

Impact Nwoko earns a new deal after working his way into Fulham's first-team setup during preseason and making his competitive debut in Thursday's 3-0 Carabao Cup win over AFC Wimbledon, playing 22 minutes off the bench. The 20-year-old midfielder gained valuable senior experience on loan at Forest Green Rovers last season, starting 17 of his 20 league appearances. Nwoko is likely to remain a depth option initially, but his growing involvement with the first team could lead to further opportunities across multiple competitions this season.

Impact De Fougerolles will miss Sunday's match after being forced off in the 68th minute of Thursday's EFL Cup win over Wimbledon following a heavy challenge. The defender hasn't recovered in time to return to the squad, keeping him sidelined after making his first cup start of the campaign. Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey start together in central defense as expected, while De Fougerolles will look to work his way back into contention for the upcoming fixtures.
