Fulham take on Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend, but will their leading goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic be playing?

The Serbian forward has been nothing short of electric for Fulham this season. He's picked up where he left off in the Championship banging in goals for fun and proving to the entirety of England that he can certainly do the business leading the line at Craven Cottage in arguably the toughest league in the world.

This is why he's been a popular choice for players that partake in Fantasy Premier League. A cheap, reliable option - he's been a constant in many players' sides for the majority of the season, but recently he's had some injury problems which meant he missed Fulham's last game against Manchester City.

So, this begs the question - will Aleksandar Mitrovic be available to play against Manchester United? Here we have everything you need to know.

We have received an update on the 11th of November 2022 from Fulham themselves via social media confirming that Aleksandar Mitrovic will NOT feature against Manchester United.

Boss Marco Silva confirmed in a press conference that unfortunately for the Cottagers the big Serbian would not be leading the line for them this weekend.

This will be a huge miss for Fulham, as they face a tough test as Erik ten Hag's men make the trip up from Manchester.

Vinicius will most likely lead the line again, such as he did against Manchester City last week. Andreas Pereira will also face his old side for the first time, with the Brazilian being in fine form this season.
