Marco Silva has praised Fulham full back Antonee Robinson’s resilience after revealing that the defender has overcome two summer surgeries to shine for the Whites at the start of this season.
Robinson made the winner in Saturday’s win over Leicester City and Silva revealed after the final whistle at Craven Cottage that left back has been under the knife for groin and wrist complaints during the summer – when he also competed for the United States at the Copa America.
Silva told the Athletic’s Peter Rutzler:
“Last season he was one of the best players of the season. You know, he never stops. He went to the Copa America after a long and a tough season and then had two small surgeries. He came directly to London to have a small surgery on his wrist, and then something on his groin. Afterwards, he was able to start the Premier League after two or three weeks.
The way he started last week, he’s a great great athlete. He’s a crucial crucial player for us. If he keeps improving then it will be another big season ahead for him. A great assist, great decision to do it first time for Iwobi. He has to really like his performance.”
Great player I sometimes take for granted. When I pick MOM he’s so consistent I expect it and pick someone else. But without doubt he was outstanding last season and worthy player of season
Consistently the best
I agree we definitely need to keep him and resist selling him to a bigger club, we can start pushing for a top 6 and Europe.
Wrist and groin whats he been doing.
if it wasnt for the big clubs and ffp no doubt Jedi woud of gone this summer
i see this as the last year he will be gracing the cottage so lets all enjoy him
