FulhamKeeps clean sheet Sunday
Robinson registered four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.
Analysis: Robinson kept his third clean sheet of the season Sunday, his first since Dec. 27. He made five clearances and intercepted three passes on the defensive end. He also recorded four crosses and created one chance on the attack, giving him one of his best all-around performances of the season. He'll look to keep the momentum going Saturday versus Burnley.
Option from bench
Robinson (ankle) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Tottenham.
Analysis: Robinson is with his team after he appears to have passed some testing, earning a bench role after he was a late call. After only one game out, he will look to return to a starting role after testing his legs, typically a regular sight on the left of the defense.
Late call after training
Robinson (ankle) is a late call for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marco Silva. "Antonee is back in sessions with the team. We have another session, and we're going to make a decision after that."
Analysis: Robinson is expected to face some testing ahead of Sunday's match after a final training session, with the defender questionable for the contest. This would be a solid return for the club, earning back one of the best two-way full-backs of last season. If fit, he will hope to see the start at left-back, with Ryan Sessegnon another option if Robinson is not fit enough to start.
Suffers minor ankle issue
Robinson suffered a minor ankle issue in training last week and ultimately missed Sunday's 3-1 win against Sunderland, coach Marco Silva said in a press conference, according to Jack Kelly from Fulhamish. "He felt something in his ankle throughout the week, he wasn't feeling 100%. Doesn't look serious. He rested one session, he tried yesterday, but wasn't in conditions to travel."
Analysis: Robinson won't be available for Sunday's clash against the Black Cats after picking up an ankle issue in training last week. The knock is expected to be minor, but if it sidelines him for any stretch, it opens the door for Ryan Sessegnon to step into a bigger role at left-back for the Cottagers.
Seven crosses in win
Robinson recorded one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-0 win against West Ham United.
Analysis: Robinson was very effective for Fulham Saturday, making seven crosses while producing three interceptions, winning one tackle and completing four key passes. He's been a game changer since his return from injury, already making six key passes and winning six tackles and five aerials in the last three starts.
Goes 90 in first start
Robinson went the full 90, producing five crosses, four tackles (three won) and three interceptions in Saturday's 3-2 win against Burnley.
Analysis: Robinson made a surprising return to the XI Saturday and more surprisingly went the entire game. After missing the last two months entirely and then most of the preseason, it was a testament to his fitness that he could do a full 90 in his first start. It's hard to see him starting every game over the holiday period, but if he's up to it, Marco Silva will likely welcome it due to the absences of Calvin Bassey and Ryan Sessegnon.
Finally making return
Robinson (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Burnley.
Analysis: Robinson trained with the team this week, and that has led to his return to the team sheet, with the American finally deemed fit after a rough start to the season with injuries, last playing Sept. 28. He will now look to remain fit and continue seeing the start at left-back, as he was one of the leagues best in that position last campaign, recording 10 assists in 36 appearances.
Trains with team, nearly fit
Robinson (knee) has returned to team training and is nearly ready for action, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "He's training with the team, last week was a good week for him. This week he has been with the team, another session tomorrow, let's see how he reacts after a 'complete week' - I'm here to find solutions. Now it's a matter of time when we are going to decide for him to be in contention or not."
Analysis: Robinson is on the verge of being fit in the coming matches after the biggest update in his recovery from a knee injury, as the defender has been cleared to train with his teammates. He will likely take at least another week to return as he tests his fitness, potentially being fit for their match against Nottingham on Dec. 22. He has yet to start a match this season due to his injury after being one of the best left-backs in the league last campaign, likely to work towards the same position once fit.
Battling to be fit by Christmas
Robinson (knee) is battling to see if he can be fit by Christmas time, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fulhamish. "No fresh team news. Robinson is getting better, getting closer - involved in some drills. Difficult to see if Jedi can be back before Xmas - we will see, we have been careful with him."
Analysis: Robinson is still on the outside looking in for Sunday's match as he is training but not yet fit for action, only involved in some portions of training. That said, he is still battling the injury and is hoping to be an option by Christmas, although that remains up in the air. The club is being very cautious with his return, so he will definitely not be forced into action, with the left-back to see the field again in December or January.
Continues gym work
Robinson (knee) is still working in the gym and not an option for Fulham, coach Marco Silva said in the press conference, according to Jack Kelly from Fulhamish. "Jedi is doing gym work, let's hope we have good news in December."
Analysis: Robinson is still working in the gym for the time being and will not be an option before mid-December most likely. The left back has been rehabbing from a knee injury suffered at the end of last season and from which he experienced a setback in September. Robinson will look to come back to full fitness before the end of the year and will likely reclaim his starting role in the backline once fully fit and available.
Ramping up training
Robinson (knee) is training individually and ramping up his fitness, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fulhamish.
Analysis: Robinson is training again this week and continues to be near a return, with the defender now training individually. This should lead to the full-back's return soon, still eyeing December to be available again. Once fit, he should immediately bid for starting time at left-back, one of the league's best last season when he was fit.
Trains with team, still out
Robinson (knee) "trained with the team" Friday morning but is still unavailable for Saturday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Marco Silva, per the BBC.
Analysis: Robinson is still battling his injuries but has received a good update, with the defender now fit to train with the team. This should imply a return in the near future, possibly coming in the next few weeks. He has only played three times all season, a crucial loss for the club after his great campaign last season.
Not ready to play
Robinson (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Everton and is hopeful for a return after the international break, according to Jack Kelly of Fulhamish. "Not fully fit to be involved. He's getting better, but still no timescale for him. Let's see after the international break... We are worried, of course, because he has gone a long period that he cannot play. At the moment, he is still recovering from his problem."
Analysis: Robinson was hopeful for a return against Everton ahead of the international break, but will instead have to wait another match, with the defender out to face the Toffees. This is rough for the American, who is missing a fourth straight appearance, dealing with injuries all through the start of the season. He will hope the break is enough time for him to recover, with Ryan Sessegnon still holding down the starting left-back spot while he is out.
Could return against Everton
Robinson (knee) will miss both the midweek action and Saturday's clash against Wolves but could return before the international break for the game against Everton, coach Marco Silva said in a press conference, according to Jack Kelly from Fulhamish. "I can tell you that for tomorrow for sure (out), for the next game for sure (out). Probably before the international break, I don't know if he's going to be ready, & after the international break, but right now it's very difficult (to say)."
Analysis: Robinson has been struggling to return from his long-term knee injury and will need to wait a bit longer before rejoining the match squad. His timeline for return remains uncertain for now, but the American could be back before the international break if his situation evolves positively. That would allow him to be included in the squad for the clash against Everton on Nov. 8. Until he fully regains his fitness and sensations, Ryan Sessegnon will remain the main starter at left-back for the Cottagers.
Won't face Newcastle
Robinson (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Marco Silva.
Analysis: Robinson is not yet ready for his return and will miss a second straight game following the international break, as he is not an option to face the Magpies. This continues the left-back's rough start to the season, as he has yet to start in a game this season due to injury issues. He will hope his return comes in the coming weeks, as he has only appeared in three games through eight games this campaign.
Out to face Arsenal
Robinson (knee) is out for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Marco Silva.
Analysis: Robinson has been struggling with injuries while with the USMNT during the international break and will now miss further time, as his undisclosed injury is too much for Saturday's contest. This is a rough development for the club as they lose a crucial defender once again to constant injury struggles. He still has yet to regain full fitness with the club this season and will hope a return is near, as he is a regular starter who has yet to start this season.
Won't play Tuesday
Robinson (knee) won't be an option for Tuesday's clash with Australia due to knee pain, per manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Analysis: Robinson isn't set to play during Tuesday's match with Australia, despite training during Monday's session. The defender has struggled with a few different injuries this season and could be a doubt for Saturday's clash with Arsenal when he's back with Fulham. Robinson has made just three Premier League appearances, all off the bench.
Uncertain status for friendly
Robinson is dealing with an undisclosed injury and didn't train Thursday, so he might not play against Ecuador on Friday, manager Mauricio Pochettino told Paul Tenorio of The Athletic. "I need to communicate that we have some issues with some players," Pochettino said. "We need to assess tomorrow [if] they can be available or not."
Analysis: Robinson is one of several players who might not represent the USMNT during the international break, with Christian Pulisic (undisclosed) and Alejandro Zendejas (undisclosed) also being uncertain to play. Robinson has been limited to three appearances off the bench for Fulham in the 2025/26 campaign, so he seems to be losing the starting left-back role he's had for the Cottagers in recent years.
Full 90 in cup
Robinson went the full 90 during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Cambridge United in the Carabao Cup.
Analysis: Robinson went the full 90, despite a slight knee concern. There was some thought he'd only be available for a limited role Tuesday, but the fact he played the full 90 is a great sign that he's fully fit and ready to go. Robinson has struggled to get fully fit and ready for the Premier League, with no starts through five matches.
Should play Tuesday
Robinson (knee) could get some minutes in Tuesday's clash against Cambridge in the Carabao Cup, coach Marco Silva said in his press conference, "Jedi will probably be in contention for the game. It's a chance for him to have minutes tomorrow."
Analysis: Robinson missed Saturday's clash against Brentford after also being absent from the game against Leeds United as he continues to manage his return from a long term knee injury. The left back will be in contention for minutes against Cambridge in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday as he looks to build on his fitness. Ryan Sessegnon is expected to replace him for Fulham until he returns to full fitness.
