Fulham boss Marco Silva admits they've missed Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Mitrovic serves the last game of his eight-match tonight against Leicester City.

“Of course it's been a tough period for him, like you expect," he said. “He's been working hard, it has to be like that with no chance (to play) and the mood in some days is a little bit better than the others.

“He knew one month ago that he is going to be out eight games, it's really tough for any player. If you have an injury, muscular injury or something that we know, ok, it's part of life.

“But in all this situation, the way it has come for us, the way everything happened as well, the treatment behind all that scenario, it was really tough, not just for Mitro, I have to say for our football club. We felt something that is not good."
