Fulham's Marco Silva gives Harry Wilson injury update ahead of West Ham Premier League clash

The Cottagers will travel to face the Hammers on Saturday.

Marco Silva expresses optimism that Harry Wilson will be available for Fulham’s Saturday trip to West Ham. During Monday’s 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, the Welshman suffered a severe hit to the knee.

However, the injury does not seem to be as severe as initially thought. Harry Wilson has started 14 of his 16 Premier League games, tallying five goals and three assists.

Marco Silva confirms whether Harry Wilson will play against West Ham

Over the next fifteen days, Fulham will play five games. Silva is aware of how crucial Harry Wilson’s availability is. Speaking to the media ahead of the game, the coach provided an update on the player’s injury:

“We will keep assessing him. It was a big knock on the knee and of course it was painful, still painful.

“Let’s see. We have to assess him. We are going to have another (training) session and after take the decision about him. I’m hopeful that he can be (available). Of course, it’s a situation that we have to assess.“

“Games come thick and fast. Sometimes these types of knocks can have an impact in the decisions that we have to take for each game.”

Wilson has been essential to Fulham’s recent success, as they have won four of their past seven games across all competitions.

With five goals and three assists in 14 league starts, he is having a fantastic season. Silva will be hopeful that the Welshman will be fit to play against West Ham this weekend and that the knock was not too severe.

Meanwhile, West Ham are in terrible form and have fallen to 18th place in the standings, while Fulham have risen above Tottenham to 13th place in the league.
