With 11 minutes of normal time remaining at Goodison Park, Fulham playmaker Andreas Pereira was withdrawn due to a knock, but he was not name-checked by Silva in his pre-game press conference and should therefore be fine for Monday's game.
Before gameweek nine kicked off, Pereira's 26 chances created was the second-most in the entire league this season behind Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, but not a single one of the Brazilian's key passes has led to a goal.
Silva can also recall Joachim Andersen to the backline following his suspension, while Timothy Castagne (thigh) is on track to be fit, but Sasa Lukic will not be back from a shoulder problem before the international break.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Pereira; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

Brentford boss Frank had good news to share on Kristoffer Ajer in his pre-game press conference, revealing that the defender has trained following a foot injury and has a strong chance of being fit for the derby.
The Bees will remain without Aaron Hickey (thigh), Gustavo Nunes (back), Igor Thiago (knee), Josh Dasilva (knee) and Rico Henry (knee) for a little while longer, though - the latter is nearing a comeback, but Frank is understandably taking a highly cautious approach with him.
The Brentford boss promised to go strong in midweek and delivered - Mbeumo played the full 90 while Mark Flekken kept his place in goal - and the former should now reprise his strike partnership with Yoane Wissa, who boasts nine goals from his last 10 Premier League starts.
Brentford possible starting lineup:
Flekken; Van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Damsgaard, Janelt, Norgaard; Mbeumo, Wissa, Lewis-Potter
