Huge Fulham injury boost as Crystal Palace dealt yet another blow to star man
Fulham are set to be boosted by the return of influential winger Willian for this weekend’s meeting against Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. Three points on Saturday could help the Cottagers towards a top half finish this term.
Marco Silva’s side were handed their third defeat in four outings by Liverpool last weekend but will look to bounce back from that 3-1 loss in front of a home crowd on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Eagles are buoyed by three wins on the bounce against Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle United.
Speaking ahead of the match, Silva revealed that he ‘should’ be able to call on the services of the experienced Willian once again. The Brazilian was missed against Liverpool as he nursed a slight groin strain.
That niggle wasn’t thought to be serious and the 35-year-old, who has enjoyed another solid season with 28 top-flight appearances, could return to the Fulham team. Silva is set to have a fully fit squad for the meeting on the banks of the Thames.
