Fulham manager Marco Silva talked to the press ahead of the Boxing Day derby against Chelsea, 48 hours after the draw at home to Southampton.

The questions put to the manager were, for the most part, around team news.

There was praise for Josh King following his impressive full Premier League debut.

"It's too early to be sure about some players, we have to keep assessing.

"Sasa is probably going to be ready for the game. It was a knock, it didn't look serious.

"Sander took a big knock on his ankle and we need to keep assessing, we will make a decision tomorrow.

"Emile is doing his work, let's see whether he will be ready for Chelsea or Bournemouth.

"We will see (if Josh King will feature against Chelsea). I want to be clear, he didn't play just because it was Southampton.

"With the injuries we have and Andreas suspended, we needed a creative player in the middle.

"It was a good performance for him. It was a surprise for some people that he was so composed, but it wasn't a surprise for us.

"I took the decision (to start him) because I saw that he is ready. He is a really good boy who is focused on his goals and the team's.

"(Chelsea are) very, very good. The impact (of Enzo Maresca) is clear.

"A football club that has spent (that much) money in a short amount of time, we knew the quality they would have. We will embrace the challenge.

"Not much time to switch off tomorrow, but all of our families adapt in this situation. We have a job to do."
