Speaking to the ECHO on Thursday afternoon, Silva said: "Let's see tomorrow.
"Tomorrow's session will make the difference for us.
"This morning he tried to do something so let's see how he is tomorrow and how he reacts to the session.
"It is not a tough, tough session the day before a game but we will look at him to see how he is and his feedback will also be important for us."

"He arrived here at the beginning of the week and said: 'I'm ok' but after this he felt the rib again. His feedback had been that there was no pain, nothing, but it's Richarlison, he always wants to play, he always wants to be in the training sessions, he doesn't want to miss anything.
"But we have to be aware of the situation and then decide."
