Fulham winger Reiss Nelson has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh problem and remains on the sidelines with Kenny Tete (knee) and Harry Wilson (fractured foot).
Raul Jimenez is Fulham's top scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions, including eight on home soil, and he will be pushing to return up front, although Muniz has given Silva something to think about after netting a brace against Wigan last time out.
Willian re-joined the Cottagers on a free transfer earlier this month and is in contention to feature in some capacity this weekend, although both Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi are set to get the nod on the flanks, with Emile Smith Rowe returning in a central attacking role.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez

As for Nottingham Forest, backup goalkeeper Carlos Miguel (hamstring) and striker Taiwo Awoniyi (concussion/broken nose) were both forced off with injuries in midweek, and while the former has been ruled out, the latter is doubtful.
Callum Hudson-Odoi has returned to training and could be involved against Fulham after missing the last three games with a groin problem, while there is also hope that defender Murillo will have shaken off a dead leg in time to play on Saturday.
Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Neco Williams and possibly Morato are all poised to return in defence, and Elliot Anderson is set to be recalled in midfield, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga could both link up in attack with top scorer Chris Wood, who scored a hat-trick against Brighton last time out to take his impressive goal tally for the season to 17 in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Morato, Milenkovic, Murillo; Aina, Anderson, Danilo, Williams; Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood
