Marco Silva shared some updates about the health of the **Fulham**squad for the weekend.
There are several absentees, but ahead of a clash between the Cottagers and Newcastle United, there are a couple of figures who are set to return after the 1-0 defeat to **Arsenal**at Craven Cottage.
One of those players is a man in the middle of the park who could be critical in a key set of duels.
“*Kenny Tete**was in contention. He was on the bench not 100% last game. He is training with the team and he is going to be in contention. Probably **Sasa Lukic*can be in contention too.
*“Sasa is very important. We know how Newcastle are strong almost in all the positions, how they are aggressive in a good way. That battle in the middle is going to be crucial like it was last season in both games for us to be able to win the game against Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes.*
“They are they are solid, they are compact, they are aggressive, they are physical as well. And of course we have to be at least to reach the same level of intensity and all that stuff for us to play in the way you want to play and of course to control them, to be able to and to create what we need.
“Tom Cairney**, there is nothing special as we expected is going to be to be in contention and the other players they are still out.
“Antonee Robinson* is going to be out plus Joachim Andersen, Samuel Chukwueze, Rodrigo Muniz. I think they are enough in terms of numbers. They are very important players for us.*
“The week after in terms of numbers is important for us with the Carabao Cup game and then the next Premier League match. Let's see how it goes the next few days.
“We have a doubtful with Harry Wilson too because he came with a problem last international pack he played the two games with um with Wales and he came with a problem made a big effort to play the game. Let's see how it's going to be um tomorrow and after I'm going to take a decision.”
