Fulham defender Alfie Mawson, on loan at Bristol City, suffered an impact injury in Wednesday’s Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round tie against Sheffield United that caused a medial ligament tear in his knee.
The centre-back has returned to Fulham to assess the extent of the injury to his knee.
Mawson had been out of action for 10 weeks earlier this season due to an injury to his opposite knee.
Everyone connected with the club wishes Alfie well in his recovery.
