Fulham vs Newcastle Match Preview: Key Player Availability

Fulham host Newcastle at Craven Cottage, London, on 24 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 38. Fulham sit 13th on 49 points (goal difference -6), while Newcastle are 11th, also on 49 points but with a neutral goal difference.

Fulham Availability

Fulham face both suspension and injury issues. J. Andersen (Red Card) is sidelined. J. Kusi Asare (Knee Injury) is sidelined. R. Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful. Crucially, attacking talisman H. Wilson is fully available, bringing 10 league goals and 6 assists, underlining his importance to Fulham’s forward threat.

Newcastle Availability

Newcastle’s absentee list is longer and concentrated in key areas. Joelinton (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. E. Krafth (Knee Injury) is sidelined. V. Livramento (Thigh Injury) is sidelined. L. Miley (Broken Leg) is sidelined. F. Schar (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. S. Tonali (Injury) is doubtful. Creative hub Bruno Guimarães remains available, carrying 9 goals and 5 assists and central to Newcastle’s attacking patterns.

Impact Summary

Fulham lose depth at centre-back and in attack but retain their primary creator and scorer in H. Wilson, preserving much of their attacking output. Newcastle, by contrast, are without several starters across defence and midfield, with Joelinton’s absence in particular reducing their physical and goal threat from midfield, placing greater creative and scoring responsibility on Bruno Guimarães and the remaining forwards.
