Ulham have confirmed that crucial defender Antonee Robinson underwent minor surgery after the Premier League season ended.
Robinson started 35 of his 36 Premier League games in 2024-25, assisting on 10 goals to finish joint fourth in the Premier League assists chart.
The left-back missed two of the past five Premier League games due to injury, but he was able to play the entire duration of Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Manchester City at Craven Cottage.
However, Fulham have disclosed that Robinson had a knee operation just two days after the Premier League season’s final game.
Fulham confirms Robinson knee surgery.
Fulham said on Wednesday that “Antonee Robinson underwent successful minor surgery to his right knee yesterday and will now begin a period of rehabilitation to be ready for the start of next season.”
We wish Antonee the best of luck with his rehabilitation over the off season.”
Fulham did not specify a timetable for Robinson’s recuperation, but they will hope that he can recuperate in time for the start of pre-season.
The Cottagers will also be looking to fight off any transfer interest, with Robinson linked with a move away from the club.
His long-term contract, which he signed in the summer of 2023, has three years remaining.
Will Robinson’s injury effect the USA national team?
Robinson is generally a major member for the national team, having four goals and eight assists in 50 games for the USA.
However, his injury will have no bearing on the USA’s intentions for this summer, as he was left out of the roster for this year’s Gold Cup.
USA coach Mauricio Pochettino has decided to rest Robinson, Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Yunus Musah, Timothy Weah, and Giovanni Reyna.
The Stars and Stripes will kick off their Gold Cup campaign on June 15 against Trinidad and Tobago, before finishing the group stage with games against Saudi Arabia and Haiti.
