How Everton and Fulham’s fitness levels are looking ahead of the weekend
Everton will look to keep their unbeaten streak running this weekend when they hit the road for their Premier League clash with Fulham.
The Toffees have lost just one of their last seven games but with three 1-1 draws on the board in 2026, a win will be the desired the result at Craven Cottage.
David Moyes’ side will come up against former manager Marco Silva and his side in what is guaranteed to be an entertaining clash. As things stand, nothing can separate the two clubs in the table, as they are both on 34 points at this point in the season.
Fulham are ahead on goal difference but a win could see Everton move to as high as seventh, depending on the results of Brentford and Sunderland, who face Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively this weekend.
Everton fans could get their first glimpse at new signing Tyrique George on Saturday. Here’s a run through of the latest team and fitness news for both the Toffees and Fulham.
Latest Everton injury news ahead of Fulham
Loan signing George, who has joined Everton from Chelsea until the end of the season, will be an option for Moyes to consider this weekend. He could jump straight into the action for a significant debut, with Jack Grealish expected to be out for the rest of the season.
Grealish had made a huge impact on Everton but his campaign has been cut short after suffering a stress fracture in his foot. Moyes recently confirmed the winger ‘probably needs surgery’ on the problem, which is likely to rule him for the rest of 2025/26.
Vitalii Mykolenko was absent for Everton’s clash with Brighton last time out. The club confirmed the full-back had picked up a knock during training but little else has been said on the extent of the problem. Mykolenko could be back in contention to face Fulham.
Everton players ruled out: Jack Grealish
Everton players in doubt: Vitalii Mykolenko
Latest Fulham injury news
Sasa Lukic is currently on the sidelines with a hamstring injury and is not expected to be fit to face Everton. Silva said ahead of Fulham’s meeting with Brighton on January 24th that Lukic had suffered a ‘serious injury’ and was having trouble even walking.
Rodrigo Muniz is also out with a hamstring injury but he is expected to return to the pitch this month. The manager said he was hoping for ‘good news next week’, meaning this week.
Oscar Bobb is yet to make his debut for Fulham since joining them in January from Manchester City. Their clash against Manchester United was ruled too early for the winger but little update has been provided on when fans might get the first glimpse of him.
