Overview
- The 28-year-old started at left back and finished Fulham’s Premier League victory over Burnley, his first club appearance since September 28 and first league start since May 25.
- He contributed in the build-up to Fulham’s second goal and delivered a steady defensive display with multiple tackles, duels won and recoveries.
- Manager Marco Silva said Robinson had been training and progressing well, and the club will continue to gauge his readiness after this full outing.
- The knee problem originated as a USMNT “dead leg” last fall that developed into a split tendon and required May surgery, sidelining him for the Nations League Finals and the Gold Cup.
- Robinson says he is still not at 100% but improving, and his availability is a timely option for Mauricio Pochettino’s plans as Fulham prepare for a Carabao Cup quarterfinal at Newcastle on December 17.
