Antonee Robinson Completes 90 Minutes in Fulham Win on Return From Knee Surgery

After months out following May knee surgery, his return boosts the USMNT pool for the 2026 World Cup.

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.
