Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa was handed a serious injury concern in Fulham's 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Saturday.
The Cottagers secured a share of the spoils against the Magpies at Craven Cottage after Rodrigo Muniz cancelled out Jacob Murphy’s rifled opener.
There was a state of worry plastered across the home fans’ faces as star playmaker Josh King was forced off with injury in west London, and he was replaced by Cesar Palacios, the summer signing from Real Madrid, in the second half.
Alvaro Arbeloa issued an update on the young talent post-match.
“We'll see tomorrow,” the Spaniard told the media.
“He feels a little bit tired, a little bit tight, and nothing.
“It looks like nothing serious, but we will see tonight and tomorrow.
“I hope he will be able to go with the national team because he deserves this opportunity. It's amazing for him, amazing for the club, amazing for us, and we are so pleased and so happy for him.”
The injury blow comes at a tricky time for King, who was handed a surprise call-up to the England senior squad by Thomas Tuchel for the upcoming Nations League fixtures.
The Three Lions boss emphasised that the 19-year-old’s versatility across the frontline was a key part in his plan to select him ahead of the likes of Chelsea star Cole Palmer, who was a shock omission from Friday’s squad announcement.
"We decided to nominate 22 outfield players for flexibility in training and he is the extra player in training, if you will. It is the attitude and the personality,” the German said.
