Impressing massively with his trickery since a summer move from Shakhtar Donetsk, Kevin is now facing a period on the Fulham sidelines owing to a shoulder problem.
Playing his first full match since knee surgery during the off-season on Tuesday night versus Cambridge, Antonee Robinson is a welcome returnee to the Cottagers' full-back ranks.
However, head coach Silva could opt to name an unchanged backline following victory over Brentford last time out in the Premier League - a decision that would lead to Ryan Sessegnon keeping his place.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Lukic, Berge; Wilson, King, Iwobi; Muniz

Aston Villa are sweating over the availability of Emiliano Martinez, who was unable to feature in the Europa League due to a small muscular issue.
Emery is hopeful of having the World Cup winner back in net for Sunday, with Marc Bizot set to play if the Argentine does not recover in time.
On a more definite note, the hosts are set to be without the midfield drive of Amadou Onana, with the Belgium international battling a hamstring injury.
Further reducing the options in the middle of the park, Ross Barkley and Youri Tielemans have not featured for the Second City club in over a fortnight.
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; McGinn, Kamara; Guessand, Rogers, Sancho; Watkins
