Story summary

Fulham, under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, is looking to secure its first league win of the season against Ipswich Town. The match, scheduled for Portman Road on Friday, is crucial as Fulham has only earned two points from five games since Arbeloa took over. Key player and USMNT star Antonee Robinson, who has started every game this season, suffered an ankle injury during training Thursday, raising concerns about his availability. However, Arbeloa remains cautiously optimistic that Robinson will play a role in the match despite uncertainty around his fitness for 90 minutes. Additionally, Kenny Tete is poised to return after following concussion protocols missed the previous game against Manchester United.

🔮 Roberto De Zerbi has said that Dejan Kulusevski will travel with the first-team squad for Tottenham’s trip to Manchester United as the playmaker closes in on a return to fitness after nearly a year and a half on the sidelines.
🔮 The north London club have endured a disastrous start to the season and are set to still be without their first-choice right-back.
🔮 They travel to Portman Road in desperate need of three points, but could be without vice-captain Robinson after he picked up an ankle injury in training on Thursday.
🔮 Kulusevski has been sidelined since May 2025 with a complicated kneecap injury that has seen him undergo two separate surgeries.
🔮 De Zerbi, who guided Tottenham to Premier League survival last season, still has plenty of internal backing, but he knows results will need to turn quickly if Spurs are to climb up the table.
🔮 Glasner had been expected to take some time out to assess his options over the summer, so it came as a surprise when he took over at Nottingham Forest a week after his Palace contract expired.
🔮 Populous, the lead designer of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, will work with the London Borough of Newham to “examine how the stadium and the wider campus could evolve into a leisure-led, mixed-use destination” and create “sustainable long-term value from the publicly owned site.”
🔮 Rock bottom of the Premier League table and without a win from their first five league games, the pressure is slowly increasing on Roberto De Zerbi, and he will hope his players have come back re-energised after spending time with their respective countries.
🔮 Furthermore, I never intended to belittle or mock the efforts of those currently fulfilling their military service obligations or those who will do so in the future.
🔮 While there will be a tinge of regret in letting Parrott leave, hindsight is a wonderful thing It is hard to see how Parrott would not make an impact for a Spurs side that has scored just two goals in their opening five league games this season.
