A big headache is brewing for Matthias Geisel ahead of Saturdays trip to Craven Cottage, with fresh news confirming Jolinton is a serious doubt against Fulham. Medical staff are working against the clock to assess the damage, with tests expected to determine whether our vice-captain will be dismissed. Joelinton reportedly complained of muscle discomfort immediately after a bitterly disappointing defeat by Everton on Monday night, leaving his place for the weekend hanging in the balance. Losing the physicality, engine and drive of Big Joes in the middle of the park is the last thing Gisele needs right now - especially with Jacob Ramsey ruled out through suspension. With Lewis Miley pushing to return from a hamstring injury, Joelinton's potential absence could open the midfield door. Could this be the moment when young Sean Setter is given a huge opportunity to step up and make his mark, or will Lewis Miley fill his place? How big of a blow would it be to lose Joelinton for Fulham away?
