Harry Wilson Injury Update
Harry Wilson has suffered a painful knock to his left knee, but early signs from Fulham suggest the injury is not as serious as it first looked and he is expected to be “okay” pending further assessment. The winger went down late in the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest after a challenge while trying to dispossess Neco Williams, immediately drawing the attention of the medical staff. Andy (FPLMode) summed up Harry Wilson’s rough outing on X, noting that Harry Wilson was booked, blanked, and injured, calling it the dreaded FPL “holy trifecta.”
There was clear discomfort, but the fact that he managed to continue briefly before being substituted for Adama Traoré hints more at impact pain than a structural problem. Marco Silva explained after the match that Wilson had not twisted the joint and described it as a big knock rather than something more worrying, which is exactly the kind of detail that calms fans refreshing their phones after full time.
The plan now is straightforward: Wilson will be properly assessed in training on Tuesday, with the medical team checking swelling, stability and overall reaction in that left knee. In situations like this, clubs often prefer to be cautious even when the initial news sounds positive, sometimes sending players for precautionary scans to rule out hidden issues. Hamy (@HamySources) reported on X that Harry Wilson has been benched and is a major doubt for today’s game, leaving FPL managers stunned.
With Fulham due to face West Ham away on December 27, his availability will depend entirely on how quickly the pain settles and whether he can move freely without reaction. For a player who relies on sharp changes of direction on the right flank, even a “just a knock” situation can be the difference between starting, coming off the bench, or sitting out entirely. FPL Edits (@fpl_edits) reported on X that Harry Wilson is doubtful.
Fulham’s 1-0 win, sealed by Raul Jiménez’s first-half penalty, was exactly the kind of gritty result that keeps a team steady in mid-table, and Wilson’s injury scare slightly undercut the post-match buzz at Craven Cottage. Supporters who watched him receive treatment on the pitch will recognise that familiar mix of relief and tension: relief that he walked off, tension because the next game is already on the horizon.
If Wilson does miss time, it likely opens the door for more minutes from the likes of Adama Traoré on the wing, and possibly a small tactical tweak to keep the right side as direct and aggressive as usual. For now, though, the update is cautiously positive – a heavy knock to the left knee, painful but not obviously serious, with the real verdict coming after the next training session.
