Fulham have provided an injury update on a number of their key stars, saying that the players are progressing well.

Speaking to the club's official website, the manager of first team medical and sports science, Marco Cesarini said: "Everybody came back fit from international duty.

"We have some slight problems with two players, (Sheyi) Ojo was subbed with an ankle problem and (Neeskens) Kebano didn't play any games when he was away, but we were pleased with the communication with the medical team at Congo, because they were very professional, they shared information with us, and he picked up a slight injury so they didn't risk him and sent him back for Fulham assessment.

"It's not easy to find a national team who can be so comprehensive, and willing to rest a player for their country, because there's a risk that you can make the situation worse."

Cesarini also gave an update on some of the other players in the Whites' squad.

He said: "We've got some good news; Floyd Ayite came back with the group and then we've got (Rui) Fonte making progress but we need to make sure he's fully fit before he joins the team.

"(Lucas) Piazon is a player that has a parent club, and we've got a good relationship with Chelsea who have amazing facilities so we agreed that the first part of his rehab could be done with them, and then in the next few weeks he'll be back here. He's progressing well but we need to wait a few weeks to say something more."

Cesarini was then asked about new signing Rafa Soares who arrived at Craven Cottage with an ankle injury, to which he replied: "He's getting better.

"We expect next week to start some functional work on the pitch to allow him to step up his rehab. We knew that and knew that when we signed him we were dealing with a knee injury that could leave him out for a few weeks but we are happy with the progress and are looking forward to having him with the group."
