Marco Silva has allayed fears over Harry Wilson’s injury after the winger missed Fulham’s 1-0 defeat by West Ham on Wednesday.

As for Fulham, the loss dents their outside hopes of European football, and Wilson’s absence was felt off the right flank.

However, Silva emphasised that the Welshman’s injury “doesn’t look really serious”.

He continued: “It was impossible for this game for him to be in contention. The games are coming thick and fast and the space between the games was not the normal one.

‘After some exams and treatment he wasn’t in the position to be involved.”

The winger is Fulham’s top scorer this term with nine goals in 27 Premier League games, adding six assists to that tally.

Joachim Andersen returned to the side after missing the 2-1 win over Tottenham last weekend through illness.

The Cottagers’ defeat seems them lying in 10th place in the Premier League table, eight points off the top five and 12 clear of relegation trouble.

The west London club host Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend, before they travel to Nottingham Forest.

A home encounter against Burnley rounds off the month.
