FULHAM boss Marco Silva will be on the touchline at Cherries tomorrow, despite being sent off in the club's last match.

Silva was given his marching orders as the Cottagers imploded in their FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester United.

Leading 1-0, Fulham saw Willian sent off for a deliberate handball, with Aleksandar Mitrovic also shown red for his protests.

Silva too was dismissed as United stormed back to win 3-1.

Both Mitrovic and Willian will be suspended for tomorrow's Premier League clash with Cherries at Vitality Stadium (3pm) but Silva, who coincidentally was sent off in this fixture last season, will be available to take charge from the dugout.

This is because the Portuguese has requested a personal hearing with the FA, delaying any potential ban.

Discussing Mitrovic's red card, in which he shoved referee Chris Kavanagh, Silva said: “We made a mistake. Mitro made a mistake and of course we regret the situation and we have to apologise.

“I’m the first one to criticise myself when I do something I’m not happy with and my players are the same.

“I know there was a lot of noise after the match but I cannot comment on what other people have said on that situation.

“We know our responsibilities – managers at this level, players at this level, we know we should be an example for everyone. In some moments we should control our emotions.

“Sometimes Mitro has this aura around him and people have this feeling about him.

“Mitro is a big guy, but he’s a big boy as well. He’s a boy. He’s a very good guy and everyone respects him.

“Even the way he plays he is always respectful to everyone. He has a very good relationship with referees.

“You can see everyone respects Mitro and understands Mitro, officials as well. Jon Moss praised us for some of the things we have been doing this season, on the pitch, on the touchline, it’s something we have been improving.

“Even after that incident (it) showed the respect everyone has in this business and talked about Mitro as a professional and a person.”
