Fulham Boss Marco Silva is unsure whether Antonee Robinson or Ryan Sessegnon will be available to him against Manchester United, but is calm about the left-back situation after Calvin Bassey’s stellar performance in that role last week.
“We have to wait and see,” Silva said when asked about Jedi and Sess’ fitness. “We just finished one session now, we are going to have another one tomorrow.
“We have to take a decision related to both players. They are very important for us, but the same time, we don't want to have any risk to lose them for longer.
“Different situations – Robinson is coming back from a surgery, he's training with the team but you have to take a decision.
“And Sessegnon, he felt something the last friendly game against Eintracht. We didn't want to take a risk last week, let's see how he is going to be in the last session before the game, and then we are going to decide.
“If not, Calvin did so, so, so well, a great, great performance at left-back, and I think we are more than covered in that position, because even [Jorge] Cuenca can play there.
“Of course, they are both different, if you have Robinson or Sessegnon, then you have a more offensive dynamic and mobility on the left-hand side.”
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Bassey; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Muniz

It is as you were on the injury front for Man United, who remain without last season's Craven Cottage match-winner Martinez (knee) and Noussair Mazraoui (hamstring), but Amorim otherwise has a fully-fit squad available to him.
The Red Devils boss confirmed on Friday that goalkeeper Andre Onana is fit and available for selection, but he refused to guarantee whether the Cameroonian would be back in the squad after being brutally snubbed last weekend, where Bayindir once again failed to make the most of his opportunity.
At the other end of the field, £73.7m striker Benjamin Sesko was a second-half substitute in the loss to Arsenal, and the Slovenian will certainly have his eyes on Mason Mount's spot in the capital.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Diallo, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Cunha; Sesko
