Fulham boss Marco Silva expects Wolves to be brimming with confidence in Monday night's Premier League meeting between the two sides.

The Portuguese revealed also Adama Traore has suffered a setback in his return from a hamstring injury, while Issa Diop and Rodrigo Muniz both remain sidelined.

Wolves struck twice in stoppage time to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Molineux before the international break and also count Manchester City among their four league scalps this season.

Fulham will be aiming to bounce back from successive league defeats and Silva told the club's official website: "Wolves are a tough team to play against, they have been showing that.

"They have been enthusiastic with some of the games they have won and the way they have won.

"At the end of the match they were losing against Tottenham and the way they won the game was of course a big leap for them.

"It gives them more confidence as normal, but we have to look out for ourselves.

"Big respect for them and the way they play. We are aware of it and the players they have, for sure.

"But it's up to us to express ourselves. The home support is going to be really important for us to be able to win the game."

Fulham, 15th in the table, three points behind Wolves and seven clear of the relegation zone, are winless in four league games and lost their last two to Manchester United and Aston Villa.
