Story summary
Alvaro Arbeloa, Fulham's head coach, addressed the media before their upcoming match against Manchester United. He confirmed that due to injuries and rest requirements, he will be making several lineup changes from the team that played at Anfield in the cup tie. Players like Bernd Leno, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Gonzalo Garcia are expected to return for Sunday's game.
However, due to concussion protocols, key defender Kenny Tete will not be available, joining captain Tom Cairney on the sidelines. Winger Sessi Duminik Sessegnon is a doubt as he has missed the last two games with a groin issue and his availability for Sunday remains uncertain.
Arbeloa praised the substitutes who played against West Ham (referred to as "the Hammers"), noting their effort despite not regularly getting playing time. He expects these players to continue contributing positively in upcoming matches.
