Fulham registered their third straight win across all competitions on Sunday after by heaping more misery on out-of-sorts Tottenham at Craven Cottage.

However, what had been another excellent performance from Wilson was marred by his 72nd-minute withdrawal after he had picked up an ankle injury during the first half.

With the Cottagers in action again on Wednesday evening when they host West Ham United, the 28-year-old faces a tight turnaround if he is to be fit and help the Cottagers continue their good recent run of form.

Fulham boss Marco Silva gave a brief update on Wilson after his side's victory over Spurs.

‘At half time he gave us the feedback that we probably have to change," he said. ‘He kept going but it was very difficult for him in the last 20 minutes to support [the team].

‘He twisted the ankle a bit. Let’s see how it’s going to be in the next few days.’

Fulham fans hoping that Wilson will be able face the Hammers should be emboldened by the fact that the Wales international was able to continue after the break and that his substitution was precautionary.

Wilson, who is valued at €20million by Transfermarkt and is out of contract in the summer, has netted nine times and provided six assists in 27 Premier League appearances for the Cottagers so far this season.

That meant the Portuguese had absences all across the pitch, with Sasa Lukic recovering from a hamstring injury, while forward Kevin has recently undergone surgery on a metatarsal injury.
