FULHAM TEAM NEWS
Cottagers vice-captain Antonee Robinson missed the 1-1 draw at Brighton last Saturday, as he was still recovering from the minor knee surgery he underwent over the summer.
Robinson has been working with the team again at the club’s Motspur Park facility, and could be in contention to play on Sunday
Ryan Sessegnon, who is Robinson’s deputy at left-back, was the only other absentee at the Amex Stadium, after picking up a knock in the Londoners’ final pre-season friendly.
Calvin Bassey filled in on the left side of defence against the Seagulls, while Fulham’s only summer arrival – goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte – was an unused substitute.
“We are going to have another session [on Saturday], and we will take a decision on both Sessegnon and Robinson,” said Silva on Friday.
“We didn’t want to take the risk with Sess last week. Calvin did so well [at Brighton] – [Isaac] Cuenca can play there too…”
