The Fulham manager has made a statement prior to his team’s Sunday trip to play Liverpool.
Before Fulham’s travel to Anfield this weekend to play Liverpool, the manager of the team, Marco Silva, has disclosed the severity of the injuries sustained by his team.
This season, the Cottagers have been inconsistent, which is a fair way to sum up their recent performances. Since the beginning of October, they have won three, lost four, and drawn one.
Their most recent triumph over Wolves, 3-2, was marred by controversy due to dubious VAR calls, and the Premier League later declared their last-minute penalty to have been a blatant error.
Despite that, it was a confidence boosting win, if anything, which helped them earn three points for the first time since October 7 when they beat Sheffield United.
Ahead of the game with Jurgen Klopp’s side, Silva is able to welcome back midfielder Joao Palhinha after he missed the win over Wolves due to suspension. The Portuguese midfielder has the most tackles in the league by some distance with 52 – which is 12 more than second-place and 23 more than Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, who leads the way for Liverpool.
In terms of players who will be missing, defender Issa Diop is doing more work with the team but still recovering and not fully fit. And the trio of Adama Traore (thigh) and Rodrigo Muniz (knee) and Tyrese Francois (knock) are all unavailable. Klopp is fortunate to have a mostly fully fit squad to choose from, a lot of players earned a run out during the 4-0 midweek win over LASK, but key figures such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ibrahim Konate were rested.
Long-term absentees from the team include Thiago (hip), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Andy Robertson (shoulder), and Alisson Becker, who they are hoping will return before their match against Manchester United on December 17.
Additionally, Klopp disclosed that Diogo Jota is absent and may be sidelined for an extended period of time: “Both are out.” Ali has less of it. day by day. Not on Sunday, and probably not the next week, but it should be fine after that. We’re not sure how long it will take with Diogo, but it will be a little more severe.
