Fulham manager Scott Parker has stated that Aleksander Mitrovic's injury looks like a bad one, after the 1-0 win over Hull City at the weekend.

The Serbian striker picked up the injury with just ten minutes remaining as he went down holding his ankle. He had to be stretchered off which shows the severity of the injury in what could be a massive knock to Fulham's promotion hopes.

It marred a 1-0 away win for Parker's side, as they beat Hull City thanks to a solitary finish from winger Ivan Cavaleiro.

The Cottagers sit fourth in the table, and may well need to regroup and have a look at any potential loan signings in the transfer window if Mitrovic's injury is as serious as it looks.

Parker has expressed that it isn't great, and if we lose someone like him then it won't be easy for the side.

Speaking to West London Sport, Parker said: "It doesn’t look great at this present moment in time.

“It’s too early to say. We’ll scan him and see where we are, but he’s injured himself pretty badly.

“Lose someone who’s scored 18 goals and it’s never going to be easy.”

The Verdict

Mitrovic has been simply sensational so far this season and has been a quite brilliant striker in this league, with many thinking he's too good to be playing in this division. It's a massive blow, and if serious then it does affect Fulham's chances of promotion.

They'd need to bring in a loan signing from the Premier League otherwise, eventually, they'd seriously start to miss the Serbian's goals and would lose out on crucial points.

There's still a long way of the season to go and with Leeds and West Brom both stuttering at the top, there's still an opportunity for the top two. This looks as though it'd only be likely if Mitrovic was in the side.
