Makes bench Saturday

Affengruber (not injury related) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace.

Analysis: Affengruber earned a spot in the squad for his potential Fulham debut after joining as a late summer signing from Elche, with coach Alvaro Arbeloa confirming he could make the bench despite initially ruling him out before reversing course in the same press conference. The defender averaged 4.9 clearances, 2.1 tackles and 5.1 duels won per game in LaLiga last season, and his presence among the substitutes adds a useful option to Fulham's defensive depth. Arbeloa made clear he will need time to integrate before factoring into the starting rotation, with Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey expected to continue as the established center-back pairing.

Could ultimately be available

Affengruber (not injury related) could be an option for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Jack Kelly of the Fulhamish Podcast.

Analysis: Affengruber recently joined Fulham as a late summer signing following his departure from Elche, bringing a reliable defensive profile that averaged 4.9 clearances, 2.1 tackles and 5.1 duels won per game in LaLiga last season. He was first ruled out by coach Alvaro Arbeloa during the presser before the Spaniard confirm he could make the bench for Saturday's clash but will need time before starting a game for the Cottagers. His arrival adds pressure on current starters Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey, though he will need some time to integrate before factoring into the rotation.
