Fulham manager Marco Silva has confirmed that Kevin is likely to undergo surgery and could be sidelined for several weeks.
The forward sustained a fifth metatarsal injury during Fulham’s 3–1 victory at Sunderland and was forced off shortly before half-time.
“Kevin is the only player who will not be in contention for the game,” Marco explained.
“We’re are waiting (to find out more), but he's probably going to have surgery and will be out for some weeks. It’s a big blow for us and for him personally. We’re here to support him.”
There was, however, more encouraging news regarding Fulham’s other injury concerns.
“Saša (Lukic), (Samuel) Chukwueze and the others have been in and out of contention, but they’ve had a good week. (Antonee) Robinson is back in sessions with the team.
“We another session and we're going to make a decision after that.”
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Bobb; Jimenez

Tottenham have received two belated pieces of good news on the injury front ahead of Sunday's derby, as Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso are both back in training and on course to be available for the trip to Craven Cottage.
Micky van de Ven has also been passed fit despite a minor toe problem, but Dejan Kulusevski (knee), James Maddison (knee), Rodrigo Bentancur (thigh), Mohammed Kudus (thigh), Ben Davies (ankle), Lucas Bergvall (ankle), Wilson Odobert (knee), Destiny Udogie (thigh) and Cristian Romero (suspended) are still sidelined.
Porro and Danso's returns may prove critical for Tottenham, as the defensive duo are perfect fits for Tudor's 3-5-2 setup - on paper at least - and could both be drafted back into the first XI right away.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Danso, Van de Ven, Dragusin; Porro, Palhinha, Gallagher, Spence; Sarr, Simons; Kolo Muani
