Fulham winger Samuel Chukwueze is in contention to feature against Tottenham Hotspur at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The Nigeria international missed last weekend’s 3-1 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light due to a minor calf injury but has trained with the squad this week, according to head coach Marco Silva.

“Sasa (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,” Silva told the club’s official website. 

“We have another session and we’re going to make a decision after that.”

Chukwueze, who joined Fulham on a season-long loan from AC Milan last summer, has contributed three goals and four assists in 13 Premier League appearances for the Cottagers.
