"But as a team we need to stay strong, stay together and get behind Ryan Mason."We'll be going to see him when we go down on Saturday [for Sunday's FA Cup tie at Fulham], it is not easy for him to get visitors, but we will be there. "For me it's not easy to put both things in the balance, he was a really important player for the team, but we need to continue our work in the window. It is clear we are light in midfield."It is not easy for our squad, but we need to be strong together, fight together and support Ryan. "We have a good atmosphere, but in these moments we play for our fans, for ourselves and for Ryan for sure."The response has been fantastic, because it is important to support his family and the player together. "In these moments we need to forget everything and concentrate on him." With Lazar Markovic signed on loan from Liverpool and a potential deal in the works for Bailey, talk around Robert Snodgrass' future has intensified.The Tigers' top scorer missed the trip to Stamford Bridge and will again be missing against United due to a muscle injury, but Silva says his absence has nothing to do with interest from other teams. "He continues training with the team, but he won't be available for the match, I hope he stays," the Portuguese explained.</blockquote>
