Silva welcomes Fulham’s clean sheet but says Burnley game is ‘crucial’

Marco Silva was pleased with Fulham’s clean sheet at Nottingham Forest but said his side now face a “crucial” home game against Burnley.

The 0-0 draw at the City Ground gave Fulham their first clean sheet since December.

But taking just one point from their past three matches has seen them lose ground in the battle for a European place.

The Whites boss therefore believes the game against struggling Burnley takes on added importance.

“A clean sheet is something very important for us,” he said.

“I have to say that’s been missing and probably playing a big part in some games for us when we are not able to win the game, to not concede as well.

“We move on for a game before the international break that is going to be crucial if you want to fight for something more. It’s going to be crucial to our aspirations.”

But Fulham might have to do without record signing Kevin for the rest of the campaign, Silva admitted.

The winger was recently sidelined by a foot injury and Silva said it is unclear how long Kevin will be unavailable for.
