Fulham injury news: Marco Silva delivers Harry Wilson update ahead of West Ham clash

Fulham manager Marco Silva is unsure whether star attacker Harry Wilson will be ready for Wednesday's Premier League home clash against West Ham United.

The Wales international thumped home the opener in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage.

Unfortunately for Wilson, he failed to make it through the game unscathed, going off in the 72nd minute with an ankle injury. 

Wilson is now facing a battle to prove his fitness in time for Wednesday's home meeting with Nuno Espirito Santos's side.

Silva provides Andersen, Wilson update

While there may be doubt over Wilson's availability, Fulham will definitely be able to call upon Joachim Andersen, who has recovered from the illness that kept him out of Sunday's win.

"Joachim will be back in, 100 per cent sure,” Silva told reporters on Tuesday. “Harry is one of the players we have to keep assessing. Let's see."

Fulham will also be unable to call upon club-record signing Kevin, who has undergone surgery on a foot injury he sustained in last month's win over Sunderland.

Silva has admitted it is "difficult" to put a timeframe on when the winger will be able to return to competitive action.

Silva ready to "fight" for European qualification

Having collected 40 points from 28 matches, the Cottagers are sitting in ninth spot in the Premier League table ahead of the midweek round of fixtures. 

Fulham are five points adrift of Chelsea in sixth position with 10 games left to play in the Premier League season.

More European spots could open up in the Premier League between now and the end of the season, offering further hope to Fulham in their bid to secure qualification to one of the UEFA competitions. 

When asked about Fulham's quest for European football, Silva said: "We are going to fight. We know that we probably deserve more points - sometimes we don't take points from games we are on top.

"We are in a position where we want to climb the table, definitely."

The Cottagers will be aiming to boost their European aspirations by completing just their second Premier League double over West Ham after winning 1-0 in December's reverse fixture.
