Calvin Bassey was shown his fifth yellow card against London rivals, Arsenal, on Saturday, meaning he won’t be visiting Anfiend with the squad.
The Nigerian international played the full 90 minutes as Fulham shared points with the Gunners at the craven cottage on Sunday.
However, Bassey received his yellow card in the 72nd minute for pushing Arsenal forward Kai Havertz.
It was his fifth of the season, triggering an automatic one-game suspension.
The Fulham defender will cause a major setback in the defense line of the squad, making their Anfiend encounter more difficult and penetrable.
Despite this suspension, Bassey’s performance against Arsenal was commendable. He played a vital role in Fulham’s solid defensive display, frustrating the title-chasing Gunners and preventing them from closing the gap on Liverpool.
Fulham’s Manager Marco Silva would find a way to put things back in place after Calvin Bassey’s suspension, and Joachim Andersen, who is sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury.
