Manor Solomon is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines as the Fulham winger prepares for knee surgery.
The 23-year-old made his Premier League debut against Liverpool as Marco Silva’s side claimed an impressive point at Craven Cottage despite a difficult summer for the club.
Silva has constantly called for further signings, with Solomon one of the more eye-catching additions so far after leaving Shakhtar Donetsk.
"It’s his knee... last Sunday in the session. Probably he will get surgery in the next few days," Silva told reporters ahead of Saturday’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"Then we will have more news about it and be more sure of the timeline for him to come back.
"But it looks like he’ll be a long time injured. Let’s see, I think it’s better we wait for the surgery, and after we will know more details about it."
Fulham are keen on an £8m move for Nice winger Justin Kluivert and hope to wrap up a deal this week, while Bayern Munich forward Joshua Zirkzee remains another target.
