Fulham are set to be without Harrison Reed for the rest of the calendar year, after he injured his meniscus in Thursday’s training session.

Speaking in his pre-Wolves press conference, Marco Silva said: “The bad news for us is about Harrison Reed. Yesterday he got an injury in his knee and, after the exams, he's going to need surgery there.

“It will take longer, probably five, six weeks, to be ready again.”

That blow makes Saša Lukić’s return all the more timely, with the midfielder back in contention for the weekend, alongside Carlos Vinicius.

“Saša Lukić and Carlos Vinicius, they are available to be involved in the squad list, or in the XI.

“Nice to see both back. Carlos was closer the last few weeks. Nice to see Saša coming back and being in condition to be involved.

“Of course, need more time to get the right fitness and to be in the right shape, but he's going to be involved in the squad list, and if we need him, he's going to be ready.”
