Lucas Piazon is set to return to the Fulham squad ahead of schedule after the Chelsea loanee saw a specialist regarding his jaw injury today.

The Brazilian has been out injured since the start of the month when he fractured his jaw as a result of a challenge on Cardiff City's Kadeem Harris during the 2-2 draw in South Wales.

Initially, Piazon was meant to be out for six weeks but after seeing a specialist, he will return to fitness training on Monday before being able to return to full training with the squad in two-three weeks.

Speaking about Piazon, his manager, Slavisa Jokanovic today said: "He is a big loss for us, Piazon was very important but it is part of football and we expect he can be available for some of the final games in the Championship, or if we push ourselves into the top six he will be ready for the play-offs."
