Fulham’s Europa League squad

This is interesting. Fulham have submitted an updated squad list for the group stages of the Europa League.

There are a few surprises too. New signings Kagiso Dikgacoi and David Elm are not included, while Toni Kallio and Pascal Zuberbuhler are also missing. It looks as though American striker Eddie Johnson, midfielder Seol Ki-Hyeon, want-away full-back Fredrik Stoor and Andranik, seemingly destined for a long stint in the reserves, won’t be involved in our European matches either.

While there is still time to make changes to this list before we prepare for our opening fixture in the competition in Bulgaria a week tomorrow, it does give an early and intriguing insight into Roy’s thoughts for the Europa League.

I’ve reproduced the squad list from the UEFA website below:

Goalkeepers

	No.

1	Mark Schwarzer
12	David Stockdale
38	Neil Etheridge *
39	Wesley Foderingham *
41	Marcus Bettinelli *

Defenders

No.	Name

2	Stephen Kelly
3	Paul Konchesky
4	John Pantsil
5	Brede Hangeland
6	Christopher Baird
18	Aaron Hughes
28	Adam Watts *
36	Joe Anderson *
37	Matthew Briggs *
44	Keanu Marsh Brown *
45	Alex Smith *

Midfielders

No.	Name

11	Zoltán Gera
13	Danny Murphy
16	Damien Duff
17	Bjørn Riise
20	Dickson Etuhu
23	Clint Dempsey
26	Christopher Smalling
27	Jonathan Greening
29	Simon Davies
31	Matthew Saunders *
42	Courtney Harris *
43	Reece Jones *

Forwards

No.	Name

8	Andrew Johnson
10	Erik Nevland
15	Diomansy Kamara
25	Bobby Zamora
40	Michael Uwezu *

UPDATE: UEFA seem to have classified young Chris Smalling as a midfielder and I can’t seem to change the formatting. Rest assured that if we see him in European action – it’s likely to be in defence.

Simon Davies included although not sure how fit he will be before Christmas. Stockdale and not Zuber helps with the English players total. But EJs not there is odd.
