Fulham confirmed team news v Leeds United: Neeskens Kebano to return, Dan James ineligible
Marco Silva has confirmed that Fulham attacker Neeskens Kebano will be available to return from injury against Leeds United.
The Whites travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday, 22 April, to take on Fulham who find themselves in the top half of the table and the outside chance of finishing in Europe.
Dan James is eligible to face his former side while Aleksandr Mitrovic remains suspended and Lavyin Kurzawa is also ruled out.
Silva said, via the club’s Twitter account, “Good news for Kebano. It’s good to see him work well and train well. He can be involved in the squad list for tomorrow.”
Must win
Leeds cannot go into this win thinking that anything apart from a win will be an acceptable result as it will not and they very well know that.
A draw won’t be the worst result in the world for Javi Gracia’s side but with Fulham not having much to play for, this is a great chance to go out and get the three points.
Three points will take Leeds to 32 and that’s a comfortable number given the next two games from which they should pick up at least four more points.
Gracia knows that these next three games are like cup finals and favourable results in all of them could see Leeds avoiding a relegation battle in the last few weeks.
It remains to be seen if he wings in a few changes as they’ve suffered two heavy defeats at home and there needs to be a response.
Willy Gnonto deserves to be starting this one and we’re hoping to see him face off against a Fulham defence that can be got at.
In other Leeds United news, a Whites player has a potential offer on the table and could seal his permanent Elland Road exit this summer.
