Fulham injuries and predicted XI to face Leeds United with Aleksandar Mitrovic question answered

Aleksandar Mitrovic will be available to feature for Fulham in their FA Cup fifth round tie against Leeds United at Craven Cottage on Tuesday.

Mitrovic has missed Fulham's previous two games with a hamstring injury, but Marco Silva has confirmed that the Serbian international will be in contention to face the Whites.

"He will be available for tomorrow's match," Silva confirmed in his pre-match press conference. "He's a really important player but as you know, we are more than just one player."

The forward has scored 11 goals in 19 appearances in the Premier League this term to add to the record 43 goals he scored during Fulham's Championship title-winning season in 2021-22 and Silva will have a decision to make as to whether or not he wants to risk the forward against Leeds.

Carlos Vinicius started in Fulham's draw against Wolves, while Bobby Decordova-Reid led the line for their victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fulham will also be able to call upon Joao Palhinha. The Portuguese midfielder received his 10th yellow card of the season in Fulham's 1-1 draw against Wolves on Friday, and will serve his suspension in their next two Premier League games.

Elsewhere, Fulham remain without Tom Cairney (ankle), while Neeskens Kebano is a long-term absentee (Achilles).

Fulham predicted XI: Rodak; Tete, Diop, Tosin, Kurzawa; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Pereira, Solomon; Mitrovic.
