Fulham man advised to bounce back before it’s too late…

Marco Silva expressed his admiration for Sasa Lukic’s increasing significance within Fulham’s midfield, highlighting his pivotal role as the team’s standout performer during pre-season. Silva disclosed the club’s prolonged interest in Lukic, which culminated in his signing from Torino in January.

Despite Lukic being among the three players substituted early in Tuesday’s match against Nottingham Forest, his participation has been progressively rising throughout the season, potentially leading to his return to the starting lineup against Newcastle. Silva emphasized the club’s proactive approach in securing Lukic’s transfer, underscoring his versatility and positive attitude. Lukic’s patience and dedication have been pivotal as he awaits his opportunity, now demonstrating commendable performances on the pitch.

As Fulham prepares to face Newcastle at Craven Cottage, goalkeeper Bernd Leno acknowledged the need for improvement following the disappointing result against Forest, urging the team to focus on rectifying their deficiencies in the upcoming fixture.
