Remains sidelined
Cairney is out for Monday's SW6 derby against Chelsea, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa. "We are in a very good moment. It's just Tom who is injured, the rest of the players are available and they are working so hard. I can feel the commitment of the players, it's been so great, so now we are confident."
Analysis: Cairney underwent a minor surgical procedure on his left knee earlier this month and began a rehabilitation program with the club's medical staff, with his return to training expected to fall around the September international break, meaning his continued absence here comes as no surprise.
Undergoes minor knee surgery
Cairney underwent a minor surgical procedure on his left knee, the club announced.
Analysis: Cairney will now begin a rehabilitation program with the club's medical and performance staff, with a return to training expected after the September international break. As a result, he is set to miss the start of Fulham's 2026/27 campaign before returning to compete for a depth role in midfield once fully fit. He is expected to continue his recovery over the coming weeks.
