FulhamInefficient in loss
Robinson recorded four crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Sunderland.
Analysis: Robinson sent in four poor crosses during Sunday's loss, also making three tackles in the match. It wasn't a great showing by the full-back, as he struggled to make anything happen. The defender will hope to bounce back against Crystal Palace after such a disappointing showing in the second match of the season.
Comes off bench in friendly
Robinson (undisclosed) came off the bench in Wednesday's 2-2 friendly draw against Malaga.
Analysis: Robinson was announced as a starter before this match but was ultimately replaced by Ryan Sessegnon. However, Robinson came off the bench in the second half, so he doesn't seem to be dealing with any fitness issues. If Robinson is healthy and available for the season opener against Chelsea on Monday, Aug. 24, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets the nod over Sessegnon at left-back.
Late scratch Wednesday
Robinson was a late scratch ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Malaga.
Analysis: Robinson was announced in the original starting lineup, but the reasons for his removal are unknown. This means Ryan Sessegnon will get the nod at left-back.
Set for left-back role
Robinson has reported to Fulham's pre-season camp following the World Cup as he prepares to take on starting duties at left-back.
Analysis: Robinson is coming off a solid World Cup with the USMNT and has now made his way back to his club, getting set for the 2026/27 season. He is set to start the season at left-back for the club following a delayed start to the 2025/26 campaign due to injuries, something he will look to avoid as the new season approaches. He would record 17 starts in 22 appearances last season while scoring one goal and no assists, a far step down from the 2024/25 season, where he earned 35 starts in 36 appearances and 10 assists, although that is heavily due to his injury. When he is fit and at his best, he has proven he can be one of the better left-backs in the league, especially with his added value on the attack.
Attempts four crosses in defeat
Robinson had four crosses (zero accurate) and seven tackles in Monday's 4-1 defeat versus Belgium.
Analysis: Robinson was quite efficient in duels and tackles, though he lacked crossing accuracy, and his fantasy outing was marked by the four goals conceded. Despite featuring as a two-way contributor throughout the tournament, he finished without a goal or assist in four starts. Other than that, he ranked second on the squad with an average of 3.0 tackles per game. He'll now turn his attention to the Premier League preseason as he heads back to Fulham following international activity.
Two-way effort Wednesday
Robinson generated four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Robinson was great as he ran the left flank for the USMNT on Wednesday, recording a solid day on both sides of the ball. He would start with his chance created and four crosses in the attack to go along with one tackle won, two interceptions and four clearances in the defense, earning a clean sheet in the process. He is a for-sure starter for the team as they advance in the tournament, proving to be one of their strongest players on the pitch.
Solid two-way work in win
Robinson generated three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 win against Australia. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 56th minute while racking up two interceptions, three tackles and seven duels won.
Analysis: Robinson covered the entire left flank in a 3-5-2 tactic, and he did an impressive job of making his presence felt on both ends of the pitch. The Fulham defender should remain a capable two-way contributor for the USMNT even if he doesn't crack the scoresheet often. His ability to push forward and rack up offensive stats make him an intriguing play in most formats.
Productive against Paraguay
Robinson recorded seven crosses and a chance created in Friday's 4-1 win over Paraguay.
Analysis: Robinson was on the left wing for the USMNT on Friday and was one of their better players on the field, playing a great two-way role. The defender would record seven crosses and a chance created in the attack, along with four clearances in the defense. It appears Pochettino wants the full-back more involved in the attack, something that could add considerable value to his World Cup run.
Downplays injury concern
Robinson downplayed his hamstring injury and revealed he exited Saturday's game against Germany due to cramps, according to Jonathan Tannenwald of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Analysis: Robinson exited Saturday's 2-1 loss to Germany with an apparent hamstring injury, but the left-back revealed he decided to exit the game as a precautionary measure. He admitted he was dealing with cramps but was pain-free by the time the match ended. With that in mind, Robinson should be ready to play in the World Cup opener against Paraguay on Friday, June 12.
Exits with hamstring injury
Robinson departed Saturday's friendly against Germany with an apparent hamstring injury, according to Herculez Gomez of ESPN.
Analysis: Robinson scored the equalizer for the USMNT with a thunderous volley in the first half, but he exited the game limping off near the hour mark. Further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the injury, but as the first-choice left-back on the roster, this could be a huge blow for Mauricio Pochettino's men. Robinson should be considered doubtful for the USMNT World Cup opener against Paraguay on Friday, June 12.
Should start at left-back
Robinson is expected to be the starting left-back for the USMNT in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Robinson had an up-and-down season at Fulham in the 2025/26, as he was unable to lock down a regular starting nod on the left side of the Cottagers' defense between injuries and the strong play of his competition, Ryan Sessegnon. Robinson started in 17 of his 22 EPL appearances in 2025/26, but he should be one of the key players for the USMNT thanks to his two-way upside. He should be heavily involved as a fantasy asset as well due to his attacking contributions.
Converts from spot
Robinson scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Robinson scored his first Premier League goal on his 157th appearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Molineux, converting a first-half stoppage-time penalty with composure by sending the ball into the bottom-left corner past Jose Sa, while also adding one key pass, four crosses and four interceptions. Robinson has now scored one goal across 21 Premier League appearances this season, enduring a difficult campaign but showing improved form as the World Cup in June approaches.
Keeps clean sheet Sunday
Robinson registered four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.
Analysis: Robinson kept his third clean sheet of the season Sunday, his first since Dec. 27. He made five clearances and intercepted three passes on the defensive end. He also recorded four crosses and created one chance on the attack, giving him one of his best all-around performances of the season. He'll look to keep the momentum going Saturday versus Burnley.
Option from bench
Robinson (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Tottenham.
Analysis: Robinson is with his team after he appears to have passed some testing, earning a bench role after he was a late call. After only one game out, he will look to return to a starting role after testing his legs, typically a regular sight on the left of the defense.
Late call after training
Robinson (ankle) is a late call for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marco Silva. "Antonee is back in sessions with the team. We have another session, and we're going to make a decision after that."
Analysis: Robinson is expected to face some testing ahead of Sunday's match after a final training session, with the defender questionable for the contest. This would be a solid return for the club, earning back one of the best two-way full-backs of last season. If fit, he will hope to see the start at left-back, with Ryan Sessegnon another option if Robinson is not fit enough to start.
Suffers minor ankle issue
Robinson suffered a minor ankle issue in training last week and ultimately missed Sunday's 3-1 win against Sunderland, coach Marco Silva said in a press conference, according to Jack Kelly from Fulhamish. "He felt something in his ankle throughout the week, he wasn't feeling 100%. Doesn't look serious. He rested one session, he tried yesterday, but wasn't in conditions to travel."
Analysis: Robinson won't be available for Sunday's clash against the Black Cats after picking up an ankle issue in training last week. The knock is expected to be minor, but if it sidelines him for any stretch, it opens the door for Ryan Sessegnon to step into a bigger role at left-back for the Cottagers.
Seven crosses in win
Robinson recorded one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win against West Ham United.
Analysis: Robinson was very effective for Fulham Saturday, making seven crosses while producing three interceptions, winning one tackle and completing four key passes. He's been a game changer since his return from injury, already making six key passes and winning six tackles and five aerials in the last three starts.
Goes 90 in first start
Robinson went the full 90, producing five crosses, four tackles (three won) and three interceptions in Saturday's 3-2 win against Burnley.
Analysis: Robinson made a surprising return to the XI Saturday and more surprisingly went the entire game. After missing the last two months entirely and then most of the preseason, it was a testament to his fitness that he could do a full 90 in his first start. It's hard to see him starting every game over the holiday period, but if he's up to it, Marco Silva will likely welcome it due to the absences of Calvin Bassey and Ryan Sessegnon.
Finally making return
Robinson (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Burnley.
Analysis: Robinson trained with the team this week, and that has led to his return to the team sheet, with the American finally deemed fit after a rough start to the season with injuries, last playing Sept. 28. He will now look to remain fit and continue seeing the start at left-back, as he was one of the leagues best in that position last campaign, recording 10 assists in 36 appearances.
Trains with team, nearly fit
Robinson (knee) has returned to team training and is nearly ready for action, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "He's training with the team, last week was a good week for him. This week he has been with the team, another session tomorrow, let's see how he reacts after a 'complete week' - I'm here to find solutions. Now it's a matter of time when we are going to decide for him to be in contention or not."
Analysis: Robinson is on the verge of being fit in the coming matches after the biggest update in his recovery from a knee injury, as the defender has been cleared to train with his teammates. He will likely take at least another week to return as he tests his fitness, potentially being fit for their match against Nottingham on Dec. 22. He has yet to start a match this season due to his injury after being one of the best left-backs in the league last campaign, likely to work towards the same position once fit.
