Fulham will be forced into at least one change in personnel with Wilson serving a suspension for his dismissal at Huddersfield.
Cavaleiro is expected to be drafted into the starting lineup as reward for his two goals in that fixture.
Silva has a decision to make regarding the selections of Andre-Frank Anguissa and Jean-Michael Seri, two players who could be sold before the end of the month.
Fulham manager Marco Silva says he’ll make a decision on whether Harrison Reed will feature v Millwall tomorrow, after the midfielder returned to training.
Elsewhere, Silva also confirms that Anthony Knockaert and Terrence Kongolo as well as Tom Cairney remain sidelined.

Gazzaniga; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Onomah, Seri; Cavaleiro, Carvalho, Reid; Mitrovic

Despite the quick turnaround, Rowett is expected to keep changes to his Millwall XI down to a minimum.
The most likely alteration could come in attack with either Matt Smith or Tom Bradshaw taking the place of Benik Afobe.
Captain Shaun Hutchinson is set to miss the Championship tie against his former club Fulham on Tuesday while Maikel Kieftenbeld could also be absent.
The central defender missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers due to a quad issue that surfaced in training on Friday.
Jake Cooper’s return to the starting XI helped to soften the blow but it seems Hutchinson is now set to miss Tuesday’s clash against promotion hopefuls Fulham, who the 30-year-old left to join the Lions in 2016.
Millwall possible starting lineup:
ialowski; Ballard, Wallace, Cooper; McNamara, Evans, Saville, Kieftenbeld, Malone; Wallace, Smith
