Marco Silva stated that the team will face West Ham United with confidence, focus, and a clear tactical strategy.

Marco Silva says Fulham will approach Saturday's away Premier League match against West Ham with confidence, focus, and a clear tactical plan. He added that despite the short break during Christmas, the team's preparations have never stopped, and they will remain fully committed even during the busy holiday schedule.  

At the press conference, Marco Silva said: "The two are related. Of course, it is important to spend time with family after training, but West Ham United and match preparation are always our top priorities. The players know their performance requirements and always stay focused."  

The manager has provided an update on winger Harry Wilson's injury. He was forced off the field injured in the match against Nottingham Forest, but the manager has confirmed that the injury does not appear to be as serious as initially feared.  

Marco Silva said, "He has a serious knee injury and is in a lot of pain. We are still assessing his condition and will make a decision after the next training session. I hope he can return as soon as possible because he is crucial to the team and is full of confidence. "  

“We have clear ideas and plans, and we know the players’ characteristics very well. We have data to support our judgments about which players recover faster and which need more time. But the situation changes after each game, including injuries, recovery status, and playing time, which requires us to be flexible. Right now, the most important task is the game against West Ham United, because that is our next game.”  

Fulham travel to East London riding a winning streak in Premier League away games, and manager Marco Silva believes this has changed the team's mindset when playing away. He stated, "In the past, every away game we would discuss whether we could win. Now, with two consecutive away wins, the team's confidence is completely different."  

“We are facing a team capable of threatening any opponent. They are very strong, and if we are not in good form, we can be easily punished. Therefore, to win the game, we must play at our best.”
