Fulham to make late call on Aleksandar Mitrovic
Posted Wednesday, July 29, 2020 by PA
Fulham will make a late decision over star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic ahead of the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final second leg with Cardiff.
Mitrovic was not risked in Monday’s 2-0 first-leg win in south Wales with a hamstring injury and boss Scott Parker must again decide whether to play the division’s top scorer.
Ivan Cavaleiro will also be assessed after he returned to training following a similar problem.
Harry Arter did not train on Wednesday due to an unspecified injury so will not play at Craven Cottage.
Cardiff have no fresh injury concerns following the first-leg loss.
Manager Neil Harris will check on playmaker Lee Tomlin, who has had an injury-hit campaign, ahead of what would be a third start in eight days. The player has not reported any problems.
Harris may consider other changes as Cardiff look to turn the tie around, with winger Josh Murphy pushing for a starting spot.
Forward Isaac Vassell remains on the sidelines and defender Greg Cunningham, who is back in full training but has not played since October, is unlikely to be involved.
