FulhamOut another game
Tete (foot) is out for Saturday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish.
Analysis: Tete is not yet fit and will wait another week to see the field again, with the defender still suffering from his foot injury. His return date remains up in the air moving forward, as little has been given, potentially still missing further time. The club does have to do without their starting right-back while he is out, leaving Timothy Castagne to start in his place.
Out to face Burnley
Tete (foot) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Burnley.
Analysis: Tete is ruled out for Saturday's match against Burnley after picking up two different knocks. While the injuries were initially considered minor, he is not fit enough to be involved. Timothy Castagne is expected to handle duties at right-back in his absence.
Late decision Saturday
Tete is a late call for Saturday's match against Burnley due to a finger and foot knock, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Kenny, we have to make decisions. Tete got a knock in a finger and a foot. Let's see."
Analysis: Tete looks to be in need of some testing ahead of Saturday's match to see if he is an option, as the defender has been dealt two different knocks. The good news if the injuries appear to be minor, leaving more room for the defender to play. With 21 starts in 22 appearances this season, they will hope their starter is an option, with Timothy Castagne as a possible replacement at right-back.
Creates chance in loss
Tete had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus West Ham United.
Analysis: Tete got forward in a few different ways throughout Wednesday's loss. He created a chance and took a shot, though the volume was still disappointing on the whole, and neither of his actions were particularly threatening. It was a frustrating match and a big missed opportunity against a hot West Ham side who were bouncing back from shipping five last time out.
Earns bench spot
Tete (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester United.
Analysis: Tete was an option for Sunday and is with the team, as the defender works from a limited spot on the bench for the contest. After his five-game absence, the defender should test his legs and return to the starting XI, only missing three starts all season before this stint on the bench.
Option to face Red Devils
Tete (hamstring) has trained with his teammates and is an option for Sunday's match against Manchester United, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Tete has been completely working with the team. He's in contention."
Analysis: Tete is back in contention this week after he joined his teammates for training, ending an absence due to a hamstring injury. This will end his five-game absence, gaining back their regular starter at right-back. He will look to return to that spot immediately if fit enough for that role, with one goal in 16 appearances this season.
Ruled out Saturday
Tete (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Brighton.
Analysis: Tete is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Brighton after failing to complete the necessary testing following a four-match absence. The defender remains unavailable despite being close to a return. Timothy Castagne is set to continue at right back in his absence.
In contention for Saturday
Tete (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Marco Silva. "About Kenny - he's training with the team. Depending on my decision, he can be in contention for tomorrow."
Analysis: Tete looks to be in for a return Saturday after four games out, with the defender deemed to be an option, likely needing to pass some testing to be an option. This would mean the addition of the clubs starting right-back, only missing one start all season when fit. If an option, he should return to the starting role immediately, with Timothy Castagne as his replacement at right-back.
Unlikely vs. Leeds United
Tete (hamstring) is not expected to be available for Saturday's game against Leeds United, manager Marco Silva told media Thursday. "Kenny [Tete] probably going to be too soon for him to be back."
Analysis: Tete has missed Fulham's last three matches across all competitions, and it seems the right-back will be sidelined once again for this clash. That means either Issa Diop or Timothy Castagne will start on the right side of the defense. If Tete is indeed ruled out, his next chance to play will come against Brighton on Saturday, Jan. 24.
Out to face Liverpool
Tete (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Liverpool.
Analysis: Tete was doubtful for Sunday and has not made the call, set for further assessment heading into Sunday's match against Liverpool. This is only his fourth absence of the season, and a rough loss for the club as they miss their right-back, with Issa Diop taking his spot.
Doubtful to face Liverpool
Tete (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "They are probably going to be out of the next game - we will keep assessing them. They don't look long-term, but you never know. Next week, I can be more sure."
Analysis: Tete had to leave the last match early due to a hamstring injury and looks to be set for another game out, as the defender is still being assessed and is doubtful. The defender has been their starter at right-back and has only missed one start all season when fit, so this could be a rough loss. Timothy Castagne will likely be his replacement at right-back if he is unable to play.
Dealing with hamstring discomfort
Tete "felt something in his hamstring. First, the reaction probably is not so serious, but we have to wait some hours, probably one or two days after a scan or exam to see what's going to happen.", manager Marco Silva revealed after Thursday's match against Crystal Palace, Jack Kelly of Fulhamish reports.
Analysis: Tete left in the 51st minute of Thursday's clash and was replaced by Timothy Castagne. Tete could be ruled out of the weekend's encounter with Liverpool in case of a serious issue, which would be a significant blow to the squad, considering that he has made regular starts at right-back.
Exits with injury Thursday
Tete exited Thursday's game against Crystal Palace with an undisclosed injury.
Analysis: The extent of the injury is uncertain, but Fulham didn't want to take any risks with the right-back. Timothy Castagne replaced him, and it remains to be seen if Tete will be able to recover in time to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Scores opener Saturday
Tete scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Tete opened up the scoring early Saturday with an outside-the-box strike in the 4th minute assisted by Samuel Chukwueze. It marked his first goal of the season and it came on his lone shot in the match. He played very well on the defensive end too as he won 11 duels, made eight clearances, won four tackles, intercepted three passes and blocked one shot in his full 90 minutes of action.
In contention to face Newcastle
Tete will be in contention to play against Newcastle United on Saturday, manager Marco Silva told media Thursday. "Kenny was already involved in the last game, not 100 percent. He's had a good week and will be in condition for the game."
Analysis: Tete was an unused sub in the 1-0 loss to Arsenal, and the right-back should be an option once again. He was a regular starter in the first five games of the season and will look to recover that role against Newcastle, a game where Fulham should have their hands full from a defensive standpoint. In five EPL starts this season, Tete has 12 crosses (one accurate), 16 tackles, 16 clearances and three interceptions.
Lands on bench
Tete (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash vs Arsenal.
Analysis: Tete looks to be fit enough to be on the bench after missing the last two games with a knee injury. Once fully fit, the defender will look to return to his right back position, having started five games there already.
Doubtful for Saturday
Tete (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Marco Silva. "Kenny is recovering, but still not at that level yet."
Analysis: Tete is battling to return from his knee injury but appears more than likely to miss another match, as the defender is doubtful to face the Gunners. This will be something to watch after he missed their past two games, as he is their regular starter at right-back. That said, if he misses out or is on the bench, Timothy Castagne will likely earn the start at right-back again.
Could be out extended period
Tete (knee) is out until after the international break and possibly a few matches after, according to manager Marco Silva. "Right now, I can assure you that Kenny is going to be out. More than just this game, we believe even after the international break, it's going to be an issue for him to be ready for the next ones."
Analysis: Tete was struggling with a knee issue that will now send him to the sidelines longer after missing their last contest, set to miss out until after the international break and possibly longer depending on his rehabilitation. This is a tough loss for the club, as he is their typical right-back option. Timothy Castagne is the likely replacement until he is fit for play again.
Struggling with knee
Tete (knee) is recovering from a knee injury, according to manager Marco Silva. 'Let's see, throughout the week we are going to be more clear about it. He felt something between Friday and Saturday. Yesterday [Saturday], he was not available to train and travel with the team. Something in his knee, let's see how's he going to react and the feedback from the exams he did.
Analysis: Tete is dealing with a knee injury and is still waiting on the results of some scans on the knee. It's unclear how serious the injury is or what the timeline for his return looks like. Timothy Castagne got the start at right-back and could be in line for the top job while Tete recovers.
Out Sunday
Tete is out for Sunday's match against Aston Villa due to undisclosed reasons.
Analysis: Tete has been left on the sidelines Sunday in a surprise move, with the club's starting right back falling out of the team with no prior warning. This does leave a hole for the team to fill, with Ryan Sessegon working into a role at right-back in place of Tete. He will next have the chance to return when facing Bournemouth on Friday.
