Fulham will continue to monitor striker Bobby Zamora's ankle injury as they deal with a cluttered schedule.
The Cottagers goalscorer still has some stiffness in the ankle of the leg he had broken last season and admits he will have to be watched closely with the club also involved in the Europa League this campaign.
"In terms of my ankle, I'd rather rest to be honest," he said. "Obviously, I want to play. The European nights are nice but, at the minute, we want to get points in the Premier League.
"The gaffer (Martin Jol) said, 'We'll rest you for this one', so I can come on or whatever."
He added: "It's stiffness more than anything in the ankle joint but we're working on getting it looser after the injury.
"It's still a little bit niggly but I'm trying to keep on top of it. Hopefully, I can get 100 per cent fit and carry on.
"It's just a disruptive injury that I had last year; this year that flared up a little bit."
