Impact Lukic will need some further testing and time to decide if he can play Wednesday, on the verge of a return for a second straight game.

Possibility for Sunday Lukic (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marco Silva. "Sasa has been in and out of contention, but he's had a good week."

Impact Lukic could make the call Sunday, but it will likely be left up to a late call, with the midfielder questionable after training this week. After six straight games missed in the past month, the midfielder will be looking for his return, starting in 15 of his 19 appearances this season.

Impact Lukic was feared to have suffered a serious injury, and that has been confirmed Friday, as a decent spell on the bench is expected from the midfielder. That said, he is eyeing around four to five weeks out at least, potentially facing more time out depending on his recovery. This will leave a gap in the midfield after six starts in their past seven games, with Alex Iwobi to return to a starting role in the midfield after his time at AFCON. Lukic will now start his recovery, looking to be an option again as the end of February approaches.

Impact Lukic is now a potential loss for Fulham's upcoming contests after struggling with a physical problem in the second half of the weekend's match.

Impact Lukic couldn't carry on for the second half of Wednesday's clash against the Magpies in the Carabao Cup since he felt something in his groin and was forced off as a precaution. This issue shouldn't make him a big doubt for Monday's clash against Nottingham Forest since he has some time to recover before the game, but his situation has to be monitored since he remains a regular starter for Fulham, although he lost his starting spot in the last weeks.

Impact Lukic has been cleared to return and is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's match after an absence that was initially expected to be longer.

Impact Lukic was forced off in the 14th minute of Friday's defeat against the Cherries due to an adductor injury and is expected to miss between four and six weeks while recovering from the issue. This is a big blow for the Cottagers since he has started and played most of the full 90 minutes this season. His absence will likely open the door for Tom Cairney to see an increased role in the midfield under coach Marco Silva.

Impact Lukic was heavily involved in the attack Sunday, recording a whopping 14 crosses, seven accurate crosses, all nine of his side's corners, and three chances created.

Impact Lukic had ups and downs as his team as a whole became inconsistent down the stretch. The defensive midfielder managed to stay somewhat relevant as a playmaker thanks to set-piece duties, as he took the second-most corner or free kicks on the squad, behind Andreas Pereira. However, Lukic's constant fouls led to a league-high 12 yellow cards, representing a major downside of his fantasy value. He'll aim to improve his numbers if he retains regular playing time in 2025/26.

That said, he will likely face some late testing, with that deciding if he plays or not. He has bagged two goal contributions in 26 of his 28 appearances and started in their last outing, so he will hope to see the starting XI if fit.
