Fulham boss Marco Silva provides an update on Emile Smith Rowe's availability ahead of Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round clash against Manchester United.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has revealed a decision is yet to be made over Emile Smith Rowe's availability for Sunday's FA Cup meeting with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Cottagers set up Sunday's fifth-round fixture after seeing off lower-league opposition in the opening two matches of their FA Cup campaign.

Fulham swept past Championship side Watford via a 4-1 scoreline in January, before they recorded a narrow 2-1 victory over League One Wigan Athletic in the fourth round.

The West London side are now just one game away from reaching the quarter-finals for the second time in three seasons.

Silva unsure of Smith Rowe availability

There is currently some doubt as to whether Smith Rowe will be available for Fulham's last-eight bid after sitting out the midweek win over Wolverhampton Wanderers due to an ankle issue.

Silva has revealed that Smith Rowe is back in training but a decision is yet to be made over his availability for Sunday's fixture.

"Emile is back in training with the team," Silva told reporters in Friday's pre-match press conference. "We have another session tomorrow and after that, we will make the decision."

Smith Rowe has made a number of useful contributions since arriving from Arsenal last summer, having scored five goals and provided two assists in 24 Premier League appearances.

Who will definitely miss out?

While Smith Rowe could still make Sunday's squad, Silva has confirmed that Fulham remain without the services of three players for the trip to Old Trafford.

When asked about who will miss out, Silva said: "The same three players who have been out for a long period are still out – Kenny Tete, Reiss Nelson and Harry Wilson."

Nelson, who is on loan from Arsenal, is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery following a setback in his recovery.

Meanwhile, Tete and Wilson are expected to be out until April as they continue to work their way back from knee and foot injuries respectively.
