On Kevin, who has injured his fifth metatarsal and will be out for "some weeks": "A big blow for us. Slowly we start to see the reason he was brought in, the quality was becoming more difficult for opponents to control."
Silva is content that he has enough solutions for Kevin's absence.
Sasa Lukic and Samuel Chukwueze could be in contention but Fulham will take a decision following the final session before the game.
On Oscar Bobb: "He has settled very well, top guy, very professional. We are going to see his qualities slowly, because he is a top talented player."
On winning away at Sunderland: "It was a key game for us. It was an important moment in the season for us to stand up and show character. We know what we want for the end of the season, we will fight very hard to achieve it."
Silva is open to conversations with Raul Jimenez regarding another season at Fulham: "We are pleased with him. It's been a difficult season for him in terms of the load. At his age, the way he is helping the team - it's been a good season."
On facing Spurs: "The position they're in is below their standards. Their season has not been the best but I have enough maturity and experience to know that these kinds of games can be tricky and not to underestimate a group of players who want to react. Let's hope we don't give them the day to react."
On the threat of a new manager bounce: "When you face coaches who have been in the job already, they might have a different plan and you have to be ready from the first moment of the game. The change of manager won't be an excuse."
