Unfortunately, another absence from the match for us,andquot; Silva told reporters on Monday and at a press conference.
andquot;We were able to look after our players very well, which is good after a busy, busy December and January. We don’t have many injuries, which is a good sign that we did things very well and the players enjoyed themselves.
andquot;It was different, when he fell at that moment [after the failure], there was something on his shoulder – nothing muscular or anything like that.
andquot;But unfortunately for us, the head is missing for at least two or three weeks. Hopefully not longer, but at least three weeks and it will go.
Silva also confirmed that Adama Traore is unavailable, but the winger is closing in on a return after returning to training.
Apart from Wilson and Traore, Fulham will not be able to call on Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Fado Ballo-Toure, who are currently at the Africa Cup of Nations.
