Fulham will again be without defender Timothy Castagne for Saturday's Premier League trip to Everton.

The Belgian missed the home loss to Aston Villa last weekend with a thigh problem and is not fit enough to feature.

He is joined on the sidelines by the suspended Joachim Andersen while midfielder Sasa Lukic is still some weeks off a return from a shoulder injury.

Manager Marco Silva told the club's website, fulhamfc.com: "Joa is going to be out, one game, Sasa Lukic, as you expect, is going to be out for more several weeks, and Timothy Castagne is still out as well."

On the positive side, Jorge Cuenca and Carlos Vinicius are making good progress after foot and leg injuries respectively and could be back in contention.

Silva said: "All the other players, let's see. We have to assess all of them and after decide who's going to be in the squad list, but probably all the others, they are going to be available."

Fulham will be looking to get back to winning ways at Goodison Park after defeats to Manchester City and Aston Villa either side of the international break.

Former Everton boss Silva said: "Let's hope we can react as a team and to go in the right direction performance-wise, and of course, results-wise, that is the most important thing."
