Silva on injuries, Jimenez and reacting to defeat at Aston Villa

Fulham boss Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Friday's Premier League game against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Rodrigo Muniz and Kenny Tete will be sidelined for a while with hamstring and knee injuries respectively.
• On their expected timelines: "More than just this game, I believe. Even after the internationals, it's going to be difficult for them to be ready for the next ones."
• He confirmed Tete's knee injury is on the same knee as previously but "different from last season". Silva added: "We are going to keep progressing him in the same type of recovery, and surgery is not necessary."
• He said their loss is "a big blow" because they are "two important players."
• At the moment, Silva is not sure if Raul Jimenez will be available having been forced off against Aston Villa.
• On that defeat: "After the way we started the game, maybe the score should have been 0-2,-0-3 to us at half-time. We should have had two penalties and we had more good chances too. We conceded a goal we should avoid really."
• He said he has had "no contact" from the PGMOL this week but the decisions made last week by them were "very, very tough to take".
• On the possibility of using forward Jonah Kusi-Asare to deputise for Muniz and Jimenez: "He's a boy who has just turned 18. The Premier League is demanding. We will see tomorrow."
• Looking ahead to the trip to Bournemouth: "We worked on what to do better during the week. We are not happy and we want to react from the last game."
