Fulham manager Marco Silva anticipated the match against Chelsea this Thursday and revealed that the solution to the absence of goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, who was suspended for accumulated bookings, lies with former Benfica Carlos Vinícius .
«We are rested, it is time for Carlos Vinícius to play a few more minutes, as happened in the last game [frente ao Hull City, para a Taça de Inglaterra]. To replace Mitrovic, he is our best solution. I want it to be authentic and not try to copy what Mitrovic usually does. He knows what we want him to do.”
Fulham face João Félix’s new club Chelsea in a delayed Premier League 7th round match. Marco Silva’s team is in 7th place, while Chelsea are below, in 10th.
