Silva welcomes return of key Fulham players
Marco Silva has declared that “everything is different” for Fulham now that key players have returned to the squad.
Only Sasa Lukic is unavailable for Saturday’s game against Everton – the Serbian is still out after picking up a hamstring injury.
After the signing of Oscar Bobb and the returns of Rodrigo Muniz and Kenny Tete, boss Silva now has more options at his disposal, after months without important players.
“The environment is good, the feelings are very good, finally. And you can feel it during the week how competitive it will be in the future and it was during this week as well,” said Silva.
“So far the competition, the sound, everything is different. It’s nice to see all of them around and all of them competing for the position.

“Of course, it’s going to be tougher sessions, more competitive sessions. It’s a very good feeling for me, for my staff and even the players.”
Striker Muniz will return after being absent since the reverse fixture in November, when he had to be substituted after coming on against Everton.
“It’s always very good if you look around yourself and you see solutions there to have an impact,” said Silva.
