Fulham are sweating on the fitness of star man Tom Cairney with less than two weeks until the start of the new season.

Captain Cairney went off during the first half of the Whites' pre-season friendly with SV Darmstadt on Saturday with what looked like a knee injury.

And now the Cottagers are waiting on news of the extent of the injury.

Social media was awash with questions on Monday evening after a photo of Cairney, posing with a Fulham fan at Barcelona airport, surfaced.

The club have confirmed that Cairney flew out to Barcelona from the club's training camp in Germany to have treatment on the knee injury, but is back with the rest of his team-mates at their Motspur Park training ground now.

Rumours of a two to three week lay-off have been doing the rounds on social media, which would keep him out of the season opener with Norwich, but the club have not yet given a timescale around the injury.
