Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa is hopeful Josh King has avoided a serious injury after the midfielder was forced off during the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United.
King felt tightness in his groin with Fulham set to assess him further before determining the extent of the problem, and whether he can join up with England after receiving his first senior call up.

“I think he felt a little bit tight on the groin,” Arbeloa said.
“We will see, but I think it looks like nothing serious. We don’t know yet.
“I think he felt some pain, but it looks like nothing serious. We will see tonight, we will see tomorrow, if they have to do some scan.
“I am so happy for him because he deserved it,” he added on King’s call up.
“You could see this afternoon again, another great performance.
“I think he is a very talented player, and his character, his ambition is amazing, and I hope he will be available for the international.”

Arbeloa also believes Fulham are continuing to improve after battling to a draw at Craven Cottage.
“The best thing about this team is we are learning,” he said.
“Because in the first two, three games, we played well, but we had some problems with the transition, and we are controlling much, much better now.”
