Alfie Mawson’s injury uncertainty underscores Fulham’s need to sign Gary Cahill
In Claudio Ranier🦩i’s pre-match press conference, the Fulham manager declined to give an updat🔥e on the fitness of Alfie Mawson ahead of the Burnley match.
The uncertainty surrounding the defender’s fitness s🦂hows the Whites need to buy Gary Cahill and strengthen their central defensive options in January.
Mawson mysteriously was s👍ubstituted during halftime of Fulham’s match against Huddersfield Town back on 29 Decembওer.
Replaced by Maxime le Marchand, it surfaced afte🗹r the game that Mawson had suffered a knee injury — a worrying sign considering Mawson’s injury history.
Yet more than a week and a half after the match, Ranieri stil🌸l refused to set a timeline for Mawson’s recovery.
“Mawson iജs being assessed – ther🅘e’s no prognosis yet,” Ranieri said in comments reported by .
As Fulham🌌 remain in the dark over Mawson’s injury, it reveals how desperately the Whites need reinforcements in꧒ the transfer window.
Chelsea centre-half Gary Cahill has been heavily with the Whites all January, with the 33-year-old representing an experienced presence that would slot in per꧑fectly as one of Fulham’s t🐽hree centre-backs.
Even before Mawson’s injury, Fulham required significant investꦫment to improve their defence, yet the increas✨ing uncertainty surrounding Mawson’s arrival underscores the need for the Whites to sign Cahill.
