Kenny Tete - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Creates two chances in first league start Tete had one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town.

Impact Tete made his first league start of the season against Ipswich after missing the previous game with a concussion, and he created two chances while adding one tackle, five clearances and one interception. He came in for Timothy Castagne at right back, and it remains to be seen whether that was a straight selection call or a way of managing Castagne's workload after a busy international break with Belgium, with the latter looking the more likely explanation.

Finds starting role Tete (concussion) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Ipswich Town.

Impact Tete earns a starting opportunity after recovering from the concussion he suffered when struck in the face by the ball during the draw against Liverpool. The defender missed the EFL Cup clash against West Ham United and the league matchup with Manchester United but is now ready to return. The start gives him a chance to expand his role after playing just 27 minutes off the bench this season.

Cleared to return Tete is available for Saturday's clash against Ipswich Town after recovering from his concussion during the break, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Jack Kelly of the Fulhamis...

Impact Tete has recovered from the concussion he suffered after being struck in the face by the ball during the draw against Liverpool, which forced him to miss the subsequent EFL Cup clash against West Ham United and the league matchup with Manchester United. Manager Arbeloa's latest comments suggest the defender has cleared the necessary protocols during the break and is ready to return to the matchday squad. However, Tete has played just 27 minutes off the bench this season, making a reserve role more likely than an immediate return to the starting XI.

Won't be available Sunday Tete won't be available for Sunday's clash against Manchester United due to concussion protocols, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Jack Kelly of the Fulhamish Podcast. "Tete...

Impact Tete had already missed the EFL Cup match against West Ham United after getting hit in the face with the ball in the recent draw with Liverpool, an issue that had left his status for this match uncertain. He has been limited to just 27 minutes off the bench this season, so his continued absence should not have a significant impact given his already limited role.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with facial injury Tete missed Tuesday's EFL Cup match against West Ham United after getting the ball in the face in Saturday's draw against Liverpool, according to manager Alvaro Arbeloa.

Impact Tete failed a few tests to be an option Saturday, but the veteran defender will be assessed before Sunday's EPL contest at home against Manchester United. Tete has been limited to just 27 minutes off the bench this season, so his potential absence shouldn't have a big impact in most fantasy formats.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Bench option Saturday Tete (groin) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Arsenal.

Impact Tete has been included in the squad after returning to grass training last week following a four-match absence, with the coaching staff easing him back via the bench in line with the minimal expectations surrounding his chances of starting this weekend. The right-back had last featured on March 15 when he went the full 90 minutes in a draw against Nottingham Forest, and his 22 Premier League appearances this season underline his importance to the Cottagers when fit. Timothy Castagne is set to retain the starting role at right-back for now, with Tete's return to the first eleven expected to follow in the coming fixtures as he builds back his match sharpness.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Fit to play, not to start Tete (foot) is fit to play but not to start against Arsenal on Saturday, according to manager Marco Silva. "Kenny is back, maybe in contention, too soon for him to start."

Impact Tete returned to training on grass last week, so while he could see minutes this weekend, his chances of starting are minimal. Tete has missed Fulham's last four games and hasn't played since March 15, when he went the full 90 in a draw vs. Nottingham Forest. With Tete unlikely to start, Timothy Castagne should continue to start at right-back for the Cottagers.

APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE

Trains on grass Tete (foot) remains out but has been able to train on grass, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Kenny is still out, but back on the grass. More involv...

Impact Tete is still not an option as he deals with a foot injury, missing a fourth straight match. However, he has been able to make further progress in his return, as the defender has started to train on grass this week. That said, the club will continue without their starting right-back, leaving Timothy Castagne to start in his place.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Return still unclear Tete (foot) remains sidelined and without a defined recovery timeline, with manager Marco Silva confirming that he'll miss Saturday's clash against Brentford, BBC Sport reports.

Impact Tete will be out at least for a third consecutive game after playing for the last time on March 15. While Tete continues to work on his recovery, Timothy Castagne is expected to start at right-back. It remains to be seen when the Dutchman will be back in contention.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Out another game Tete (foot) is out for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish.

Impact Tete is not yet fit and will wait another week to see the field again, with the defender still suffering from his foot injury. His return date remains up in the air moving forward, as little has been given, potentially still missing further time. The club does have to do without their starting right-back while he is out, leaving Timothy Castagne to start in his place.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Burnley Tete (foot) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Burnley.

Impact Tete is ruled out for Saturday's match against Burnley after picking up two different knocks. While the injuries were initially considered minor, he is not fit enough to be involved. Timothy Castagne is expected to handle duties at right-back in his absence.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Late decision Saturday Tete is a late call for Saturday's match against Burnley due to a finger and foot knock, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Kenny, we have to make dec...

Impact Tete looks to be in need of some testing ahead of Saturday's match to see if he is an option, as the defender has been dealt two different knocks. The good news if the injuries appear to be minor, leaving more room for the defender to play. With 21 starts in 22 appearances this season, they will hope their starter is an option, with Timothy Castagne as a possible replacement at right-back.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Creates chance in loss Tete had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus West Ham United.

Impact Tete got forward in a few different ways throughout Wednesday's loss. He created a chance and took a shot, though the volume was still disappointing on the whole, and neither of his actions were particularly threatening. It was a frustrating match and a big missed opportunity against a hot West Ham side who were bouncing back from shipping five last time out.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Earns bench spot Tete (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Tete was an option for Sunday and is with the team, as the defender works from a limited spot on the bench for the contest. After his five-game absence, the defender should test his legs and return to the starting XI, only missing three starts all season before this stint on the bench.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Option to face Red Devils Tete (hamstring) has trained with his teammates and is an option for Sunday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Tete...

Impact Tete is back in contention this week after he joined his teammates for training, ending an absence due to a hamstring injury. This will end his five-game absence, gaining back their regular starter at right-back. He will look to return to that spot immediately if fit enough for that role, with one goal in 16 appearances this season.

Ruled out Saturday Tete (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Brighton.

JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

In contention for Saturday Tete (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "[Kenny] is in contention for tomorrow."

Impact Tete looks to be in for a return Saturday after four games out, with the defender deemed to be an option, likely needing to pass some testing to be an option. This would mean the addition of the clubs starting right-back, only missing one start all season when fit. If an option, he should return to the starting role immediately, with Timothy Castagne as his replacement at right-back.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely vs. Leeds United Tete (hamstring) is not expected to be available for Saturday's game against Leeds United, manager Marco Silva told media Thursday. "Kenny [Tete] probably going to be too soon for...

Impact Tete has missed Fulham's last three matches across all competitions, and it seems the right-back will be sidelined once again for this clash. That means either Issa Diop or Timothy Castagne will start on the right side of the defense. If Tete is indeed ruled out, his next chance to play will come against Brighton on Saturday, Jan. 24.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Liverpool Tete (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Tete was doubtful for Sunday and has not made the call, set for further assessment heading into Sunday's match against Liverpool. This is only his fourth absence of the season, and a rough loss for the club as they miss their right-back, with Issa Diop taking his spot.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful to face Liverpool Tete (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "They are probably going to be out of the next ga...

Impact Tete had to leave the last match early due to a hamstring injury and looks to be set for another game out, as the defender is still being assessed and is doubtful. The defender has been their starter at right-back and has only missed one start all season when fit, so this could be a rough loss. Timothy Castagne will likely be his replacement at right-back if he is unable to play.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring discomfort Tete "felt something in his hamstring. First, the reaction probably is not so serious, but we have to wait some hours, probably one or two days after a scan or exam to see what's g...

Impact Tete left in the 51st minute of Thursday's clash and was replaced by Timothy Castagne. Tete could be ruled out of the weekend's encounter with Liverpool in case of a serious issue, which would be a significant blow to the squad, considering that he has made regular starts at right-back.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Thursday Tete exited Thursday's game against Crystal Palace with an undisclosed injury.

Impact The extent of the injury is uncertain, but Fulham didn't want to take any risks with the right-back. Timothy Castagne replaced him, and it remains to be seen if Tete will be able to recover in time to face Liverpool on Sunday.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Scores opener Saturday Tete scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Tete opened up the scoring early Saturday with an outside-the-box strike in the 4th minute assisted by Samuel Chukwueze. It marked his first goal of the season and it came on his lone shot in the match. He played very well on the defensive end too as he won 11 duels, made eight clearances, won four tackles, intercepted three passes and blocked one shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In contention to face Newcastle Tete will be in contention to play against Newcastle United on Saturday, manager Marco Silva told media Thursday. "Kenny was already involved in the last game, not 100 percent. He'...

Impact Tete was an unused sub in the 1-0 loss to Arsenal, and the right-back should be an option once again. He was a regular starter in the first five games of the season and will look to recover that role against Newcastle, a game where Fulham should have their hands full from a defensive standpoint. In five EPL starts this season, Tete has 12 crosses (one accurate), 16 tackles, 16 clearances and three interceptions.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on bench Tete (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash vs Arsenal.

Impact Tete looks to be fit enough to be on the bench after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Once fully fit, the defender will look to return to his right back position, having started five games there already.
