After the break, Pereira left the field on a stretcher after colliding with Manuel Akanji against Manchester City.
Andreas Pereira, a midfielder for Fulham, has joined captain Tim Ream in being sidelined for the remainder of the year.
Ream was taken off the pitch during the first half of Sunday's 2-1 home loss to Manchester City due to a fractured arm, while Pereira later left the field on a stretcher after colliding with Manuel Akanji.
Ream "is probably not playing any more" for the remainder of the season, according to Cottagers manager Marco Silva, who also said the same applied to Pereira in a press conference on Monday ahead of Wednesday's trip to Liverpool.
Tim Ream injured his arm and will be out till the end of the season, according to Silva, and Andreas Pereira's season-long status will be the same; he will not play any more.
"We are awaiting additional examination results and an MRI as well. Once we are more certain about everything, we will provide more feedback, but neither will play more this season," the doctor said.
It's not really a regular situation or occurrence when one guy has a broken arm and the other has a significant ankle injury, according to Silva, who called the two "two big misses for us." We had a really bad afternoon when these kinds of things occurred.
However, because they have been such crucial contributors to our success this season, we must be ready and do everything in our power to help them recover quickly.
Willian has missed Fulham's previous two games as well, who still have two games left in Aleksandar Mitrovic's eight-game suspension.
Due to a hamstring problem, the winger was forced to leave the starting lineup before last Tuesday's 1-0 loss against Aston Villa.
Silva described that injury as "not really serious. To be honest, we made a decision more out of caution. It was a result of the final seconds of Leeds' game (the 2-1 victory three days prior). During the warm-up, he experienced it once more, and we decided against taking a chance.
