Overview

• The 22-year-old made his first start in a 1-0 Carabao Cup victory over League Two Cambridge at Craven Cottage, with Emile Smith Rowe scoring in the 66th minute.
• He went down after a 79th-minute challenge from right-back Liam Bennett, played on, and was substituted in the 87th minute.
• Marco Silva said the problem is in Kevin’s shoulder and the club will decide on scans in the coming hours.
• Kevin joined from Shakhtar Donetsk on Deadline Day for a club-record £34.6 million and has had only about three weeks to integrate following limited training during the international break.
• Silva emphasized that minutes must be earned given strong competition on the flanks, citing Alex Iwobi’s form, and Kevin’s availability for Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa is uncertain.
