Marco Silva Excludes Fulham Star for Liverpool; Key Defender Set to Play
Fulham manager Marco Silva offered a fresh injury update in Friday’s press conference. The news came ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to Anfield.
Context ahead of Liverpool clash
Fulham travel to Liverpool chasing a European spot. The club sits just five points off the champions in the table.
Arne Slot has not beaten Fulham in three previous attempts. That record adds extra spice to the fixture.
Key availability notes
Silva confirmed Harrison Reed will miss the trip to Anfield. Reed suffered a knee knock in training two days ago.
Reed scored a notable equaliser at Craven Cottage in January. The midfielder is a former Southampton player.
Defender and other squad updates
Calvin Bassey has been declared fit after missing Nigeria duty due to a back issue. Silva said Bassey is available.
Kenny Tete still has a foot problem and remains sidelined. Silva expects Tete to begin team training soon.
Winger Kevin’s recovery
Kevin has not played since February and continues rehabilitation with the medical staff. Silva described his progress as positive.
The manager stressed caution over timelines. He hopes Kevin can return before the end of the season.
Manager’s outlook
Silva underlined that most squad members are back in good condition. He asked for patience with players’ recovery steps.
Marco Silva excludes a Fulham star from the squad, while a key defender is set to play. The team must adapt for Anfield.
