Fulham vs. Bournemouth: Predicted XI for Marco Silva's side in Premier League clash

Will Smith Rowe be available? How Fulham could line up against Bournemouth

Fulham are again sweating over the fitness of Emile Smith Rowe for Sunday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

The ex-Arsenal attacker has missed his team's last two matches with an unspecified issue, and head coach Marco Silva admitted during his pre-match press conference that he is unsure whether the 24-year-old will be available this weekend.

A spot on the bench appears to be the best-case scenario, while Sander Berge also faces an uphill task to overcome an ankle problem, so it could be the same squad from the 2-1 win over Chelsea on Boxing Day.

Fulham will again be without the services of Kenny Tete, Reiss Nelson and Harrison Reed through injury, but the capital outfit did not suffer any fresh issues in their impressive success over their London rivals.

Silva has big decisions to make in the final third of the field, as Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz both came off the bench to score against Chelsea, but the pair are expected to start on the bench once again.

Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore are set to retain their spots in the XI, with Silva again potentially looking for an impact off the bench in the second half of what is shaping up to be a fascinating contest.

Alex Iwobi has been one of Fulham's star players this term, and he will again continue down the middle.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Castagne, Diop, Andersen, Bassey; Traore, Pereira, Lukic, Iwobi, Robinson; Jimenez
