Fulham vs Bournemouth: Match Preview and Team News

The Premier League clash at Craven Cottage in London kicks off on 2026-05-09 at 14:00 UTC, with Fulham hosting Bournemouth. Fulham arrive 11th on 48 points, goal difference -5, while Bournemouth sit 6th on 52 points with a goal difference of 3 and are tracking towards Europa League qualification.

Fulham & Bournemouth Availability

Fulham face several selection issues. A. Iwobi (Injury) is sidelined. Kevin (Foot Injury) is sidelined. R. Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. S. Berge (Illness) is doubtful. All four are listed among the home squad, meaning Marco Silva must reshuffle his midfield and attacking options.

Bournemouth’s concerns are mostly fitness-related. L. Cook (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful. J. Kluivert (Knee Injury) is doubtful. J. Soler (Hamstring Injury) is doubtful. No suspensions are reported for either side.

Impact Summary

Fulham’s main creative force H. Wilson, on 10 goals and 6 assists, remains available, limiting the damage to their attacking output despite losing versatile contributors like A. Iwobi and Kevin. Bournemouth’s leading scorer E. Kroupi, with 12 league goals, is also available, as is fellow 10-goal contributor A. Semenyo. The visitors’ doubts over L. Cook, J. Kluivert and J. Soler slightly weaken depth but do not remove their primary goal threats from contention.
