Harry Wilson injury update ahead of Fulham vs West Ham
Marco Silva kept his cards close to his chest when asked about the availability of Fulham winger Harry Wilson for Wednesday’s Premier League clash with West Ham.
Wilson has been one of Fulham’s standout performers this season,notching up nine goals and six assists in 27 league matches.
The Welshman added to that tally at the weekend, scoring the opener and assisting Alex Iwobi’s goal in their 2-1 win at home to Tottenham.
However, there was concern for the 28-year-old when he limped off in the 72nd minute of the game at Craven Cottage after suffering an ankle problem.
Speaking after the game, Silva confirmed that Wilson twisted his ankle in the first half and attempted to continue before eventually being forced off with 20 minutes to go.
A quick turnaround sees Fulham back in action against relegation-threatened West Ham at home on Wednesday.
Joachim Anderson missed Sunday’s win due to illness but is set to return, while Kevin is set for a spell on the sidelines after undergoing a minor surgery.

Asked for an update on his squad’s fitness ahead of Wednesday’s match, Silva told reporters: ‘Everything went well for Kevin, but difficult to say the time frame [for a return].
‘The last decisions on some players will be made tomorrow.
‘Joachim Andersen will be back in 100% sure. Harry Wilson is one of the players we have to keep assessing. Let’s see.’
Having won just two of their first eight matches to start 2026, Fulham have now won back-to-back fixtures against Sunderland and Spurs.
Silva’s side sit ninth in the table and are eight points off Liverpool in fifth.
Asked about his side’s objectives for the rest of the season, the Portuguese manager said: ‘Our first target is to break the points tally again.
‘If we do that, we know we are going to be in a good position in the table. We are in a position where we want to climb the table.’
