Injury update ahead of West Brom

[Bilet]

From Fulham FC Facebook-page:

AJ READY FOR ACTION: "Andrew Johnson is now available for selection. He came through 90 minutes in midweek and he looks really sharp. He's done really well and is very positive – now he can concentrate on doing really well for Fulham" – Mark Hughes

Danny Murphy, Dickson Etuhu, Simon Davies and Damien Duff are all out of contention for Saturday's game against West Brom (injury). Who will take their chance this weekend...

Very weakend midfield against West Brom could prove crucial. Is Hughes giving Riise a chance on the wing? Baird alongside Greening in the middle, with Kelly on the right back?

Team of:

            Schwarzer

Pantsil   Hughes   Hangeland Salicdo

Riise   Greening   Baird   Dempsey

              EJ   Kamara

Ohh dear....

[TonyGilroy]

No mention of Dembele. Could he be fit?

I'd expect Gera to start at West Brom.

[Bilet]

Dembele should be fit? I guess it's Dembele behind Kamara on top.

[cebu]

Dembele wasn't mentioned in the injury list on today's offal, so let's hope he's available.

Thanks for this, sounds like Moussa is fit!

COYW!

Bit make shift but a side like this would be a match for Wrst Brom.  

                       
                    Schwarzer
                 
Pantsil/Kelly   Hughes   Hangeland  Salicdo

Riise   Greening   Baird   Dempsey

             AJ/Dembele   Kamara

Anyone know where Digakoi is?

[sipwell]

It still looks like a problematic midfield to me... Sparky really needs to buy some good players in the next transfer window. No offense to anyone playing midfield but all of them together don't seem to be a good foursome. :S

[Brede Butter Pudding]

Why does the midfield seem problematic? Yes it's not our regulars, but Duffer has been injured so far this season and has thus been under-par, and we all know what Murphy's like at away games... The only real losses IMO from the midfield tomorrow are Dicko and Davies.

I think that this'll be the team Sparky goes for:

Shwraz

Kelly   Hughes   Hangeland   Salcido

Gera   Greening   Baird    Dempsey

        Dembele   Kamara


AJ to come on as sub, as will Riise at some point. Yes that midfield is not as strong as most weeks, but I still think it's capable of beating West Brom. Greening will be really up for it and loves putting in a challenge anyway, and I've always rated Baird at CM. I don't think we'll win tbh, but I think we have a good enough squad to give them a good game.

Midfield looks very Europa like...

Kamara looked OK in pathces last week, but missed out on some valuable opportunities.

Would love to see Zoltan get some more game time.

[cebu]

I was watching Sparky's pre-match interview on the offal and Moussa is apparently coming back from a stomach bug. His only training session of the week was today. So he might not be 100% tomorrow.

I'd put Dikagoi on instead of Greening

I'd put Dikagoi on instead of Greening

If he's been out a while then he wont have the legs or sharpness that Greening has (or is supposed to have) so I'd go for Greening for that reason. Bring DK on for 15 at the end

[HatterDon]

I'd put Dikagoi on instead of Greening

Not quite sure why you'd want to do that, sir. Jesus had a great match against Spurs.
