Sander Berge

Analysis: Berge is joining up with the Vikings as they head to America for the World Cup, with the midfielder set to take his starting role with Fulham to the world stage with Norway. He is set to be more of a defensive option for the club as they sit behind their amazing attack, helping out a defense that could struggle a bit more. This will kill Berge's production a bit, but the good news is he should see plenty of touches on the ball either way. With only one assist to his name for goal contributions during the league season, he is unlikely to find many opportunities around the net.

Option for Saturday

Berge (illness) is an option for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Marco Silva, per Jack Kelly of Fullhamish. "Sander had the illness, he's been suffering a little bit more - he's trying his best, he will be in contention."

Analysis: Berge struggled with an illness that kept him out last week, but he is now set for a return, as he has been cleared and is in contention. However, it appears he is still dealing with some drawbacks, leaving the question of how many minutes he will be available. He is typically a starter and will look to return to the role immediately, earning one assist in 33 appearances (32 starts).
