A knee injury of the worst kind for Jonah Kusi-Asare
22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Fulham lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Chey Dunkley breaks a bone — 91 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 91 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Bernd Leno keeps Fulham in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Stephen King has agreed to leave Fulham for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Words exchanged at Fulham
Luke Harris 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.

One of our own: Liam Fisher joins the Fulham first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Liam Fisher is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Benjamin Hall joins the Fulham first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Benjamin Hall is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Fulham promote Luke Robinson from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Luke Robinson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
