FulhamProductive in Sunday's win
Sessegnon generated two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Sessegnon had a productive day versus his former club Sunday, highlighted by his two accurate crosses and one chance created. He also played very well on the defensive end, recording six clearances, two tackles and two interception as the team held Spurs to just one shot on target throughout the match. He completed the full 90 minutes in his fourth consecutive match.
Provides assist in loss
Sessegnon assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Sessegnon came on in the 71st minute and immediately injected pace and width down Fulham's left flank. His standout moment arrived in stoppage time when he set up Kevin with a sharp layoff that led to the long-range equalizer. That single sequence changed the game's momentum and put Old Trafford on edge. Sessegnon added two tackles and delivered two crosses in a 20 minute cameo that was worthy of at least a point for the Cottagers.
Fires two shots in defeat
Sessegnon generated two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Leeds United.
Analysis: Sessegnon registered his first shot in three outings, while this was the first time in five appearances and second time on the season that he had two shots in a match. On the other hand, this marked the first time in three outings that he finished without a chance created, an accurate cross and with fewer than 10 completed passes.
Starts in FA Cup
Sessegnon started and went 66 minutes in Saturday's FA Cup win against Middlesbrough.
Analysis: Sessegnon is available again after missing about a month with a hamstring injury. However, playing time is a bit of a question since Antonee Robinson has been going full 90s in Sessegnon's absence. Yet with Kenny Tete injured, there's a chance Sessegnon moves to the right side and fights Timothy Castagne for playing time, as well.
Substitute option midweek
Sessegnon (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's meeting against Chelsea.
Analysis: Sessegnon is finally back with the squad after missing six games since Dec. 7. His availability boosts Fulham's attacking power at left-back, although they might not need to use him as much as in the early stages given that Antonee Robinson is now healthy.
Late call for Chelsea match
Sessegnon (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Same news, apart from Sess, who can be in contention for the game."
Analysis: Sessegnon is finally back in contention for play after weeks out with a hamstring injury, last playing a month ago. This is massive for the defender, as he will likely still need to pass some testing but should be included, likely from the bench. He was their starter at left-back, but with the return of Antonee Robinson, Sessegnon could be in need of a new role.
Training, still missing
Sessegnon (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fulhamish. "Sess is training with the team, too soon for Liverpool."
Analysis: Sessegnon is back in training this week but is still waiting for his return to action, as the defender is not fit enough to play Sunday. However, with a match on Wednesday against Chelsea, he could make a return within the week. The question once he returns is what role he will hold, with Antonee Robinson having returned from injury.
Out another match
Sessegnon (hamstring) is out for Thursday's match against Crystal Palace but will hopefully return soon after, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jon Harland of the Hounslow Herald.
Analysis: Sessegnon is still recovering from his hamstring injury and will miss at least one more match, eyeing a potential return in the coming games. This is huge news for the defender as he can anticipate a return in January, potentially in the next few weeks, with four games between now and Jan. 10. He was their regular on the left side of the defense when fit, so they are waiting on his return, although he has likely lost his job to Antonee Robinson after his return from injury, probably needing to find a new spot in the team.
Likely out few more weeks
Sessegnon (hamstring) is starting to do some individual work but is expected to miss a few more weeks of action, although that is yet to be confirmed, according to manager Marco Silva, per Sky Sports. "We have to be careful with him, he's OK. He's already running on the pitch, and it's not going to be long. He's already doing individual work, probably some weeks, but I cannot give you a timescale because we see how he's going to react this week."
Analysis: Sessegnon has already missed the club's last two games with an injury and appears to be set to miss a few more, as the defender has only started to train individually. However, he is still in need of some further testing, with the club to watch how he reacts at training this week. That said, the defender is likely to miss another match as he recovers, probably eyeing a return near the start of January against West Ham on Dec. 27 or Crystal Palace on Jan. 1.
Out to face Burnley
Sessegnon (hamstring) is out for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Sess - he's getting better, but he will be out of the game. The type of situation we will see day by day. It looked minor, but because of his injury history, we have to be more careful with him. Nothing very, very long."
Analysis: Sessegnon will sit out yet another match as he continues to recover from his injury, with the defender day-to-day but not being risked as the club takes caution. This will mark his second straight match missed, only his third match missed of the season, and likely his last due to this injury. He is a starter, so a change will be made, with Timothy Castagne likely to start at left-back again.
Missing with hamstring issue
Sessegnon is out for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Marco Silva.
Analysis: Sessegnon is absent from the team sheet Sunday despite no prior notice, with the defender hitting the sidelines due to a hamstring problem. Unfortunately, not much has been given on the situation, leaving his availability moving forward up in the air. He is their starter at left-back, so this is a tough loss, with Timothy Casagne his replacement until further assessment is done.
Four crosses Saturday
Sessegnon recorded two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Sunderland.
Analysis: Sessegnon had a productive outing on both ends of the pitch Saturday. He recorded four crosses for the fourth time this season and took a season-high two shots on the attack. On the defensive end he helped keep a clean sheet, contributing three clearances and one interception in his full 90 minutes of action.
Nets goal in victory
Sessegnon scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Sessegnon buried a shot from the left side of the box, assisted by Raul Jimenez in the ninth minute of play. The goal marked his second of the season, while both have come within the last four games. Sessegnon also recorded a season-high 52 completed passes, despite this being the first time in three outings that he did not account for a chance created.
Gets on scoresheet in Vitality loss
Sessegnon scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 3-1 loss against AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Sessegnon scored Fulham's lone goal in the 70th minute Friday with his only shot on target. It was the defender's first strike of the season. His overall defensive activities were limited, contributing just four clearances and one tackle. Across recent games, Sessegnon has shown a modest uptick in attacking involvement; more crosses, more forays forward but his returns have remained inconsistent.
