Fulham boss Silva confirms Pereira season over

Fulham boss Marco Silva has confirmed Andreas Pereira's season is over.

Pereira was stretchered off with an ankle injury in defeat to Manchester City, while Tim Ream suffered a fractured arm.

Silva said: "Tim Ream has broken his arm and will be out until the end of the season, and the situation of Andreas Pereira in terms of this season will be the same, he will play no more.

"We are waiting for more updates from the examinations, an MRI as well, and when we are going to be more sure about everything we are going to give more feedback, but both are not going to play more this season."

Silva added: "When one player has broken his arm and one has a serious injury in his ankle, it's not really a normal scenario, a normal thing. It was really an unlucky afternoon for us when these type of things happen.

"But we have to be ready, now is the moment for us to recover them really well, as fast as we can, and support them in everything we can, because they have been so, so important players for us this season."
