Fulham winger Harry Wilson faces ten weeks on the sidelines after suffering a stress fracture in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat against Manchester United.

The Welsh international, who scored stunning London derby goals against Brentford, Crystal Palace and Chelsea earlier this season, limped off in the second half of Sunday’s frustrating defeat at the hands of the Red Devils. The popular winger will now undergo surgery to rectify the fracture of his metatarsal.

Fulham manager Marco Silva confirmed the seriousness of Wilson’s injury during his press conference at Motspur Park earlier this afternoon.

“It’s tough news for us about Harry. He’s going to have surgery soon, he has a stress fracture in his fifth metatarsal. He’s going to be out for between eight and ten weeks, probably more. Let’s hope now the surgery can go well and he we can start his recovery to get him to his best level.”
