Top scorer Thiago, with 21 league goals and 1 assist, is available and central to Brentford’s attacking threat.
Fulham Availability
Fulham have one confirmed absentee:
- Kevin (Foot Injury) is sidelined.
Two regular squad members are uncertain:
- H. Reed (Knock) is doubtful.
- K. Tete (Foot Injury) is doubtful.
Creative fulcrum H. Wilson, on 10 goals and 6 assists, and striker R. Jiménez, with 9 goals and 3 assists, are both available to lead Fulham’s forward play.
Impact Summary
Brentford’s absences are concentrated in midfield, potentially reducing control and service into Thiago, who carries much of their attacking output. Fulham, by contrast, retain their primary goal and chance creators, so their overall attacking structure remains largely intact despite Kevin’s absence and the doubts over Reed and Tete.
