# Fulham: Silva shares Robinson injury worry

**[Fulham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/fulham-fc-news/) manager Marco Silva has shared an injury update on defender Antonee Robinson who is now a doubt for the clash with Nottingham Forest.**

### The Lowdown: Cottagers cruising?

The newly-promoted [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) side have started this season back in the big time very impressively thus far.

Winning two, drawing two and losing two, Silva’s men sit comfortably in mid-table and have notched impressive results against the likes of Liverpool (2-2), Brentford (3-2) and Brighton (2-1) in the last few weeks.

Star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is also proving he can cut it in the English top flight with only Man City superstar Erling Haaland [(10)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers) bagging more league goals than the Serbia international [(6).](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers)

Silva will be looking to keep this momentum going, but as per his latest team news, he could be without a capable option for Fulham’s trip to Forest tomorrow.

### The Latest: Robinson doubt…

Indeed, as shared by the Fulham boss (via [West London Sport)](https://www.westlondonsport.com/fulham/football-fulham-man-likely-to-miss-nottingham-forest-clash-and-silva-gives-update-on-wilson), it appears the left-back suffered an ankle problem in their last 2-1 defeat to Tottenham and needs assessing before Forest.

Robinson is a doubt for the clash, and whilst the injury isn’t serious, he could certainly miss Fulham’s journey to the City Ground.

Silva stated:

*“It will be difficult, I have to be honest.*

*“We still have some hours until the game and we have to check him \[Robinson\], like we are doing every single day, and we have to take the decision.”*

### The Verdict: Worry for Silva…

As per[WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/170/Show/England-Fulham) the USA international has been an untouchable in Fulham’s starting eleven so far – having started all six top flight matches whilst ranking as their sixth-highest best performing player.

In terms of tackles, interceptions and clearances per 90, Robinson sits comfortably in their top five players for each defensive aspect – highlighting just what a crucial asset he can be for Silva.

If the 25-year-old does miss Forest, he will be a very sore absence, but at least his ankle issues don’t appear too serious to keep the ‘[hell of a player](https://theathletic.com/2782776/2021/08/22/antonee-robinson-marco-silva-fulham-football/)‘ out long term.
