Harry Wilson injury update after Fulham defeat to West Ham
Marco Silva has played down the severity of Harry Wilson’s ankle injury after the midfielder missed Fulham’s Premier League defeat to West Ham on Wednesday.
Wilson was forced off with an ankle injury in the second half of Fulham’s 2-1 win at home to Tottenham last Sunday.
The 28-year-old, who has nine goals and six assists in the Premier League this season, was then left out of Fulham’s matchday squad for West Ham’s visit to Craven Cottage on Wednesday night.
When asked about Wilson’s absence before kick-off against West Ham, Silva said: ‘It doesn’t look really serious.
‘It was impossible for this game for him to be in contention. The games are coming thick and fast and the space between the games was not the normal one.
‘After some exams and treatment he wasn’t in the position to be involved.’
Crysencio Summerville’s second-half strike sealed a much-needed 1-0 win for West Ham, who remain 18th in the Premier League but are now level on points with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest and only one behind Tottenham.
