Elsewhere, there are hopes for Fulham and Silva over the availability of Sasa Lukic, Samuel Chukwueze and Antonee Robinson.

“Saša (Lukić), (Samuel) Chukwueze and the others have been in and out of contention, but they’ve had a good week. (Antonee) Robinson is back in sessions with the team.

“We another session and we’re going to make a decision after that.”

We, meanwhile, will be boosted by the return of Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro, who have missed the last four weeks through injury. Micky van de Ven is also expected to be available after a small problem with his toe this week.
