Fulham striker and top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic will serve the fourth of his eight-game suspension this weekend and will not be available for selection until May 13.
The Cottagers are also without injured Layvin Kurzawa (knee), while Daniel James – on loan from Leeds – is ineligible to face his parent club.
Fulham manager Marco Silva confirmed Neeskens Kebano is training well and will be available to be involved in the squad for the first time since November.
The absence of James will likely see Carlos Vinicius lead the line, while Wilson could retain his place on the right flank ahead of Bobby Decordova-Reid and Manor Solomon.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Ream, Tosin, Robinson; Reed, Palhinha; Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Vinicius

As for Leeds, Tyler Adams (thigh) and Stuart Dallas (thigh) both remain sidelined through injury, while injury-prone striker Patrick Bamford sustained a calf issue in the defeat to Liverpool and is a doubt for Saturday.
Gracia is sure to ponder changes, particularly in defence, following the last two performances, with captain Liam Cooper, Maximilian Wober and Luke Ayling all looking to force their way back into the starting lineup.
Midfielder Adam Forshaw will be looking to start his first Leeds game since December at the expense of either Marc Roca or Weston McKennie, while Sinisterra – who limped off with a lower leg issue against Liverpool – should be fit to continue on the left flank ahead of Wilfried Gnonto.
possible starting lineup:
Meslier; Ayling, Cooper, Wober, Firpo; McKennie, Roca; Harrison, Aaronson, Sinisterra; Rodrigo
