Mateta (hamstring) remains unavailable for Saturday's clash against Fulham, according to coach Pierre Sage. "They cannot play. As I said last time, Mateta is injured, now for three weeks."
Analysis:Mateta remains in the early stages of his recovery after suffering the muscular injury during an individual training session. He was initially handed a recovery timeline of at least four weeks, so Saturday's contest was always expected to come too soon, with another few weeks on the sidelines likely. Jorgen Strand Larsen should remain the leading option to start at center-forward while Mateta recovers.
