Tomáš Kalas

Tomáš Kalas is a defender who played for Fulham on loan from Chelsea for both the 2016-17 and 2017-18 season. A centre back, he is capable of playing on the right side of defence if required and is a Czech Republic international, earning his first in 2012 at the age of just 19.

Fulham (2016-2018)
Tomáš was signed on a season-long loan on 13 July 2016 from Chelsea. He made an impressive start, helping to keep a clean sheet in the league opener of 2016-17 with a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at Craven Cottage.

He was part of a successful 2016-17 team which saw them finish 6th in the Championship and therefore reach the play-offs. Another loan for Tomáš was confirmed in July 2017 which would again see him at Craven Cottage for the duration of 2017-18.

He was sent off after just 32 seconds in a 1-1 draw away to Reading in August 2017 after being adjudged to be the last man when committing a foul, setting a club record of receiving the fastest red card of any Fulham player in history.
