Anyone heard any news regarding Neeskins injury ?
What I wouldn't give to have him on the left Mitro in the middle and AK on the right on Tuesday night
I know it'll be Knockaert though
His face appeared to tell a storey at the final whistle, gone was the biggest smile in Fulham and instead he appeared to be very down and very sad, a hamstring injury is normally a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks, he's got 5 days !!
Doesn't seem very likely that he will make the squad on Tuesday.
I'm still keeping everything crossed he'll be fit for the final. After his last few games it would be a bitter pill, for him and us as fans, if he wasn't there. He's always given his all on the pitch and is a game changer for sure even when he has come on as a sub and hasn't had much game time previously.

Agree with you 442
Do you seriously think that the club is going to give anything away at this stage?

Maybe he wasn't even injured and was faking it to throw off Brentford
Parker could be craftier then we think
If it was that bad do you think he would have been sat pitchside the rest of the match? He'd have been whisked away by the physio team

The guy was virtually crying which tells me he knows he won't be able to play in the final. Besides, what more can you do with a hamstring injury immediately other than ice it? He didn't need to be whisked away, he didn't snap his leg in half.
For the way he writes in his last Instagram post, he really wants to be at Wembley so let's hope he will be alright for the final and do some of his magic on the pitch
It was clearly a hamstring. He won't be near the squad for the final, forget it.
Scott has hope for Mitro and Kebano according to BBC... but that's all he is going to say innit?

Only one thing left to try, the Magath way, 'Cheese & Wine' on the 'hamstring'. :005:
Suspect that Kebano is not in with a chance of recovery for Tuesday but that Parker is not saying so in order to keep Brentford guessing.
Amazing how many Fulham fans are not only experts in physiotherapy but also able to diagnose a leg injury from a brief glance at the person's face

FFC Certificate in Fandom Physiotherapy, mate. Cost me 5 quid but it arrives in the mail tomorrow 🤣
I understand he's fit for Tuesday, Mitro needs a small op but he'll also be fit for Tuesday, Arter is touch and go, so he's fit..... they're all fit
Who would have thought that after lock down one of the major players would be Kebano? He has been almost sensational. I really hope he does not miss the game.

I thought Arter was a major doubt but if the other two make it Tuesday I'll be happy!

I've always rated him he just wasn't fashionable with the managers and never got a good run of games under his belt
If I had It my way I'd have Kebano & AK on the wings with Knockaert and Cavs asses firmly planted on the bench
To be honest he's improved game on game. Since the Sheff Wed match he's been awesome, taking players on, being more direct, scoring goals, getting good crosses in etc.

Just before half-time, Kebano looked like his hamstring was tight, he did a few decent runs in injury time and took the corner just seconds before the whistle, but he didn't seem like needing three-weeks off. At half-time, Fulham's physiotherapy probably assessed him and Parker decided to substitute him as a precaution.
What did Parker instruct next Kebano to do next? I don't know, but I can guess that it was intended to deceive Brentford's physiotherapist trying to assess injuries, as Physiotherapist do try to assess the other teams injuries.
My intuition tells me if he was out for 3 to 5 weeks, Parker would have asked him to hide it so that Brentford would prepare for him to be taking free-kicks. My intuition also tells me if Kebano was going to play in the final, Parker would have asked him to act like he was out three weeks and disappointed he would miss out on the final.
Kebano is damn good at acting happy when he's on the bench, left out of the squad, or asked to play under 23s, so why cannot he be equally good at acting more injuried than he was. After half time, we know that "Always Smiling Kebano" came out clutching his leg like he had a "hamstring tear" that would keep him out 3 to 5 weeks and eyes like he just missed out on the playoff finals.
Kebano must have seen tonnes of hamstring injuries (e.g. Cav), although according to the transfer market he has never had one yet. Kebano showing all the symptoms that are frankly quite easy to fake on the tv camera. In addition, a three-week injury isn't so painful that you couldn't hide it either, which he wasn't doing.
I hope Brentford's physiotherapy tells Brentford not to prepared for Kebano set-pieces and penalties based on. In reality, given Arter wasn't named in the squad, nothing would surprise me less if he is in fact the most injured and only one to be left out of the final, his attendance of training is likely to be a decoy and unless someone saw him run no prove of fitness.
I expect Mitro and Kebano to have massive painkilling needles stuck in their legs the day of the playoff, and the only game they will be missing is the first game next season as they are given extra time to recover.
We all want to see the inform Kebano in the starting line up tomorrow but if he is missing and our three strikers have to be selected from Knock., Mitro, Reid, and a fresh Cav. that is not too bad is it. With Cairney and Onmah right behind then they should be good for a couple of goals.
Parker said the whole squad is fit for tomorrow's match, so Kebano must be fit, we have real chance to win with the whole squad ready to fight

If they aren't going to be able to do the job that Parker wants them to do, they won't play, I don't think he actually has a say. It will be down to the medical team to say 'yay or nah'.
