The Fulham captain picked up a knee injury in the win over Hull a couple of weeks ago and is still not quite up to the strains of a competitive game. Dickson Etuhu, who came on for the last six minutes of the Liverpool game, could be in line to make his own return from a knee problem from the start this evening.
Pay no attention to that squad list that appears below Teamtalk’s preview by the way. It is speculative at best – as David Elm is ineligible and others don’t feature in the European squad list.
