Mitrovic doubtful for West Ham game

Fulham boss Marco Silva says Aleksandar Mitrovic is doubtful to face West Ham on Sunday.

The talismanic striker was forced off in the first half of last Saturday’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle with a foot injury he initially picked up on international duty for Serbia.


“He was out (on the training pitch) today (Friday) but we will have to assess again him tomorrow,” Silva said.

“He is still a doubt but he is getting better. He has small some small damage in his foot. We are working with him and while it is not serious, we need to get him fit.”

Silva said defender Kenny Tete will also be assessed on Saturday along with Antonee Robinson and Willian, who are all carrying knocks, while Layvin Kurzawa is unavailable again.

However, Palhinha will definitely be back to face the Hammers at the London Stadium, having sat out the Newcastle match due to suspension.
