Squad

The knee: Quinn Schutter out for 38 days

38 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Fulham lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets

Oscar Bobb and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom

Fulham say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

In brief
