Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Preview: Key Player Availability

Fulham host Aston Villa at Craven Cottage, London, on 25 April 2026 (11:30 UTC) in Premier League Regular Season - 34. Fulham arrive 12th on 45 points with a goal difference of -3, while Aston Villa sit 4th on 58 points and a goal difference of 6, pushing for Champions League qualification.

Fulham Availability

Fulham have several concerns ahead of kickoff.

  • Kevin (Foot Injury) is sidelined and will not feature.
  • A. Iwobi (Injury) is doubtful.
  • K. Tete (Foot Injury) is doubtful.

Key attacking contributors H. Wilson (10 league goals, 6 assists) and R. Jiménez (9 goals, 3 assists) are both available, preserving Fulham’s primary creative and goalscoring outlets despite the absences.

Aston Villa Availability

Aston Villa also face notable absences.

  • B. Kamara (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
  • T. Abraham (Shoulder Injury) is doubtful.
  • Alysson (Injury) is doubtful.

Top scorer O. Watkins (11 league goals, 2 assists) and influential midfielder M. Rogers (9 goals, 5 assists) are available, maintaining Villa’s main attacking core.

Impact Summary

Fulham’s missing and doubtful players mainly affect depth rather than their leading scorers, so their core attacking output of 19 league goals from Wilson and Jiménez remains intact. Aston Villa lose B. Kamara’s midfield stability, but with 20 league goals combined from Watkins and Rogers still on the pitch, their primary offensive threat is largely preserved.
