Alfie Mawson has suffered a “serious” knee injury, according to Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri.

Mawson joined the Whites from Swansea in the summer while recovering from a knee problem and missed seven Premier League games under former boss Slavisa Jokanovic. His latest injury is to the same knee.

The Hillingdon-born centre-back, who began his career at Brentford,  has played in all eight of Ranieri’s matches in charge so far but was forced off at half-time in the win over Huddersfield on Saturday.

And Ranieri said: “I think it is serious. It is his knee. I don’t know how long (he will be out). Let’s let the doctor see it.”
