Alex Iwobi - Available for Fulham debut Iwobi (hamstring) has been training and will be in the squad for Saturday's match against Luton Town, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Iwobi is finally back since his injury a month ago with Everton and could be set to make his Fulham debut. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have with his new club, but as he showed at Everton, he can play pretty much any kind of role from defensive midfielder to winger. That said, he'll probably need a match or two to get his fitness completely back.

Joao Palhinha - Signs contract extension Palhinha signed a new contract with Fulham that will keep him at the club until the end of the 2027/28 season with the alternative to extend for a further year via a club option, t...

Impact Palhinha was details away from joining Bayern Munich in the summer, but his Bundesliga move collapsed on deadline day, so he had to report back to Craven Cottage. It's unlikely that Palhinha will stay with the club for the entire duration of his contract, given the interest of top clubs for his services, but at the very least, he should remain with the London club until the end of the current campaign. The Portugal international has emerged as a key figure for Fulham since his arrival last season, where he started in each of his 35 league appearances. He has started just once so far in 2023/24, but it shouldn't take long for him to recover his regular starting role in midfield, presumably alongside Harrison Reed.

Harrison Reed - Signs new Fulham deal Reed has signed a new contract that will keep him at Fulham until the end of the 2026/27 season, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Fulham also included an option to extend the deal a further year, and Reed has established himself as a key figure in midfield as a defensive presence. He has started in three of four matches this season, racking up one assist, five chances created, four corners and four tackles, while also being in the XI in 35 of his 37 appearances during the 2022/23 campaign, where he posted career-best marks in both goals (three) and assists (four).

Alex Iwobi - Participates in training Iwobi (hamstring) was pictured in training Tuesday ahead of Saturday's matchup with Luton Town.

Impact Iwobi joined Fulham after having picked up a hamstring injury in just his second match of the season for Everton. With the Toffees, Iwobi was filling a wide role but could be moved more centrally, especially if manager Marco Silva utilizes the 4-3-3 he did against Manchester City on Sept. 2. Regardless of where he fits into the squad, Iwobi should be in contention for regular appearances in the starting XI once fit enough to play.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Willian - Pictured in training Willian (undisclosed) took part in Tuesday's training session and should be available for the clash with Luton Town on Saturday.

Impact Willian came off the bench against Manchester City prior to the international break, logging 17 minutes as a substitute in which he recorded one cross (inaccurate). With the extra time off, the forward could challenge for a spot in the starting XI, though he likely faces an uphill battle in unseating Bobby Decordova-Reid.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matthew Max Dibley Dias - Signs new deal Dibley-Dias has signed a contract extension with Fulham until the end of the 2026/27 season, the club announced Friday.

Impact Dibley-Dias has yet to make his senior debut with the Cottagers, though he came off the bench in three friendly matches during preseason this summer while also seeing regular minutes with the U21 squad over the past couple of seasons. That said, he doesn't figure to have a prominent role with the first-team squad soon.

Joao Palhinha - Misses Man City match Palhinha missed Saturday's loss against Manchester City after a busy deadline day, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Palhinha was set to move elsewhere on Friday's deadline day, but a move fell through, so there's a chance he was traveling and not training with the team ahead of Saturday's match.

Impact Pereira had a decently quiet outing against City, registering only six crosses (two accurate), one chance created and five corners in his 90 minutes of play. The forward struggled to really get anything going for him against the stout Manchester City defense, only getting his real contributions off corner kicks. He so far has one goal this season and will look to add more as he tries to top his tally of four from last year.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

This was a very rare goal for the defender as it was only his third in the past three seasons in the Premier League. He also had a decent game in the defense, contributing one tackle, three interceptions, and three clearances.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bernd Leno - Poor day against City Leno registered no saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Leno was absolutely helpless in net on Saturday, allowing five goals while not making a single save against Manchester City. This was the first time the German has registered zero saves in a match this season after averaging just over seven through the first there games of the season. Leno will have a very good chance of rebounding in his next match when he takes on the newly promoted Luton Town.
