Fulham winger Damien Duff should return for next Sunday’s trip to Manchester City after missing Fulham’s FA Cup defeat at the hands of Bolton Wanderers.

The Irish winger pulled up with a calf injury during training on Thursday and was forced to miss the 1-0 defeat to Owen Coyle’s men.

It was a match that was crying out for Duff’s creativity as Fulham barely had a meaningful chance against Bolton, but boss Mark Hughes says he is likely to be fit for the trip to Eastlands.

Hughes is also hopeful that Simon Davies will also be back in contention after injury.
