Fulham are missing a host of players for their season finale against Bolton with Moussa Dembele the key man to miss out.

The 19-year-old Frenchman, who has 15 league goals so far this season, has been out of action this week with a calf problem.

And he is joined in the Fulham treatment room by Fernando Amorebieta, Michael Madl, Jazz Richards and Sakari Matilla.

Head coach Slavisa Jokanovic: revealed: "Fernando Amorebieta has not been training for the last few days and he's not going to be available for tomorrow.

"Michael Madl has a hamstring problem. Jazz Richards has a calf problem.

"Moussa Dembele has a calf problem and Javier Matilla has a back problem. None of them are available for tomorrow's game."

Dembele has been tipped to leave Fulham this summer, with Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea interested, but Jokanovic refused to comment further on the speculation surrounding the striker

He added: "It's not a moment to talk about Dembele. We know his situation. It's a great project of Fulham but it's not a question for me now."

Bolton visit Craven Cottage for their final Championship game for at least a year after their relegation to League One.

The Trotters have endured a difficult season with off-pitch problems playing a key role in their demise.

Jokanovic said: "We are in a similar situation to Bolton. We've not offered our supporters enough. It's our chance to finish this season in style but we understand we didn't give our supporters something to cheer in the last few seasons.

"In this moment, it's more important for us to be motivated at the end of the season in front of 15,000 people.

"This is enough motivation for us to put our maximum in this moment. Bolton arrive as a relegated team against a team not far from this position and looking at different targets in the future."

For Fulham, it is the chance to put right the horror show at Griffin Park last weekend where they found themselves 3-0 down and out of the game before half-time.

And Jokanovic demands that his players show motivation and a desire to win against Bolton. And if they don't, then they need to look for a new career move.

He warned: "If you are working in football or life and not motivated, you are in the wrong business.

"Our obligation is to be motivated in all the game. If you're not working with passion, everything is more complicated.

"We play with the sentiment of the people around us and if you're not motivated, you're in the wrong way.

"Tomorrow, we're going to finish in front of our supporters. We can't be happy with this season but we've got a chance to finish in style and our obligation is to be motivated."

The final day of the season could give the Serb a chance to give academy products a chance to shine on the pitch, although he kept his cards close to his chest regarding his selection.

He explained: "I want to win the game. This is the most important thing.

"We want to get the three points and I'm going to try and observe what I can, if I can find something for the future but it's more important to win the game."
