Fulham latest injury update and expected XI as returning star expected for Leeds United action

Fulham boss Marco Silva has hailed star winger Neeskens Kebano ahead of his return from injury in his pre-match press conference for Leeds United's trip to Craven Cottage on Saturday.

The 31-year-old, who suffered an Achilles injury earlier on in the season, has been deemed fit enough to be named in the squad list for tomorrow's match.

Defender Layvin Kurzawa is also thought to be available, although is still a potential doubt due to a knee ligament issue which he suffered in training at the start of March.

"Good news on Kebano," Silva revealed in his pre-match press conference. "The last weeks, he's been working with the team, and it’s good to see him to work well, train well, and to be involved again. Probably he can be involved in the squad list for tomorrow’s match.

"As you know, Daniel James and Mitrović are going to be out, but all the others are available."

Both Dan James and Aleksandar Mitrovic will not be available for Silva, the former being ineligible to play against his parent club while the Serbian international continues to serve his eight-match ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh against Manchester United last month.

Fulham expected XI (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Antonee Robinson, Tim Ream, Tosin Adarabioyo, Kenny Tete; Joao Palhinha, Harrison Reed; Willian, Andreas Pereira, Bobby Decordova-Reid; Carlos Vinicius.
