Fulham talisman Mitrovic was slapped with an eight-game ban for shoving referee Chris Kavanagh in their FA Cup loss to Manchester United - he served the first game of that suspension at the Vitality Stadium - while manager Silva will not be on the touchline this week as he begins a two-game ban.
Willian is back from a suspension of his own and could threaten to demote Bobby De Cordova-Reid down to the bench.
Neeskens Kebano (Achilles) and Layvin Kurzawa (knee) represent the hosts' only two injury concerns at present, while centre-back Issa Diop will expect to line up against his former employers.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed; Willian, Pereira, Solomon; Vinicius

The West Ham treatment room is also relatively empty barring knee victim Gianluca Scamacca, whose first season in England has not gone at all to plan, and the Italian striker will undergo rehabilitation for at least the next two weeks.
Moyes should be tempted into a change up top anyway, as Danny Ings prepares to demote Michail Antonio back down to the bench, while Said Benrahma's position could also come under threat from Maxwel Cornet.
Neither Aguerd nor Fabianski should be at risk of losing their places despite their high-profile mistakes against Newcastle, but Vladimir Coufal is waiting in the wings to displace Thilo Kehrer as Moyes ponders changes across the field.
West Ham
possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Cornet; Ings
