Fulham to make late call on Issa Diop's fitness for Brighton clash

Fulham will make a late decision on whether Issa Diop is fit to face Brighton on Sunday.

The centre-back missed Monday’s defeat at Tottenham with a foot injury and was replaced by Calvin Bassey.

Bassey was at fault for both of Spurs’ goals. It was only the Nigerian’s second Premier League start, having been sent off on his first.

Marco Silva admitted Fulham had been “punished” by Bassey’s mistakes and he is due to discover in the next day whether Diop has recovered in time to reclaim his place in the team.

Kenny Tete, Adama Traore and Tosin Adarabioyo are all expected back from injury in the next three weeks.

Centre-back -Adarabioyo has played just a single minute of action so far after undergoing groin surgery, and was the subject of an £8.5million bid from Monaco in August.
