Opposition team news | Kevin ruled out for Fulham

Fulham will be without forward Kevin when we make the trip to Craven Cottage this weekend.

Heading to west London on Sunday for the 2pm kick-off (UK), our hosts will be missing their summer signing Kevin after the Brazilian suffered a metatarsal injury in their victory over Sunderland last time out.

The winger played 45 minutes at the Stadium of Light before being forced off through injury.

He is now expected to be sidelined for a number of weeks.

Fulham boss Marco Silva said in his pre-match press conference, “Kevin is the only player who will not be in contention for the game.

“We’re are waiting (to find out more), but he's probably going to have surgery and will be out for some weeks. It’s a big blow for us and for him personally. We’re here to support him.”

Elsewhere, there are hopes for Fulham and Silva over the availability of Sasa Lukic, Samuel Chukwueze and Antonee Robinson.

“Saša (Lukić), (Samuel) Chukwueze and the others have been in and out of contention, but they’ve had a good week. (Antonee) Robinson is back in sessions with the team.

“We another session and we're going to make a decision after that.”

We, meanwhile, will be boosted by the return of Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro, who have missed the last four weeks through injury. Micky van de Ven is also expected to be available after a small problem with his toe this week.
