Joachim Andersen - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent off in stoppage time Andersen was shown a red card in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.

Impact Andersen would initially earn a yellow card Saturday, but after a VAR review, the defender would be sent off via red card. This will suspend him for one of the two remaining matches this season, a rough development. This will force a change, with Issa Diop or Jorge Cuenca as possible replacements.

Out with illness Andersen is out for Sunday's match against Tottenham due to an illness, according to his club.

Impact Andersen is not with the team Sunday as he joins the sidelines as a late absentee, missing out due to an illness. This does leave the club without a starting defender, a rough loss as they look for a second straight win. That said, Issa Diop starts in his place, with Andersen likely to make a quick turnaround.

Credited with assist Andersen assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Brighton.

Impact Andersen set up Fulham's equalizer when one of his trademark long balls found Samuel Chukwueze, and the winger coolly slotted an effort past Bart Verbruggen. Andersen isn't known for his offensive contributions, though, and he's likely to earn most of his fantasy value as a defensive stalwart.

The Dane started at center-back alongside Jorge Cuenca with Calvin Bassey at left-back to replace both Ryan Sessegnon and Antonee Robinson still sidelined. Andersen is expected to be a solid contributor in his second season since returning to Craven Cottage as he will likely be the leader of the central defense.

Solid defensive performance Andersen had one goal along with 222 clearances, 36 interceptions, 34 tackles and 28 blocks across 33 starts during the 2024/25 season.

Impact Andersen was a regular option throughout his first campaign for Fulham, missing only a few games in December due to a calf injury. Despite scoring just one goal, which came in the FA Cup, he was extremely active in his own box, as he recorded double-digit clearances in six out of 33 appearances and ranked second in the league with an average of 6.4 clearances per contest. However, his fantasy value was limited by his team's lack of clean sheets, a problem that could be difficult to solve given the quality of the opposing offenses.

Impact Defensively, Anderson logged less of everything except blocks (one). He recorded four clearances, two interceptions and zero tackles won, which all paled in comparison to his previous appearance, an upset win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Andersen was back in training ahead of Sunday's match against Southampton. The defender has been working back for almost a month but appears to be nearing the end of his recovery.

Impact Andersen looks to be a late call for Saturday's match despite not training with the team yet, as he has not been ruled out due to his calf issues. He will likely be forced into a fitness test ahead of the contest, with that deciding his availability for the match. He is a regular starter when fit, only missing the start once when healthy, although he will probably see a spot on the bench after such doubt heading into the contest if he is deemed cleared to play.
