FULHAM

Alvaro Arbeloa says he has a fully fit squad for the trip to Aston Villa.

That allays fears over David Affengruber, who finished the win over Coventry City with “some pain”.

The Cottagers will definitely be without one player, however: Ryan Sessegnon completes a three-match ban, following his dismissal in Gameweek 7. 

Arbeloa confirmed that Emile Smith Rowe is fit, despite not being involved in the last three league and cup squads.
