Fulham winger Kevin to miss several weeks with foot injury

By The Associated Press

LONDON (AP) — Fulham’s Brazilian winger Kevin will be sidelined for weeks because of a foot injury that likely requires surgery, manager Marco Silva said Friday.

The 23-year-old Kevin, who has three goals and three assists in 28 appearances this season, was injured in the 3-1 win over Sunderland last Sunday in the Premier League.

Silva said the forward has an injury to his fifth metatarsal and is “probably going to have surgery.”

“It’s a big blow for us and for him personally,” Silva said.

Fulham paid a reported transfer fee of $46 million to Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk for Kevin last summer. He joined Shakhtar in January 2024 from Palmeiras.

Mid-table Fulham hosts Tottenham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Fans were on their feet cheering when Díaz entered in the ninth to Timmy Trumpet's “Narcos.” He gave up two hits and one run while earning his fifth save of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. His four-seam fastball touched 98 mph.
