Jari Litmanen is unlikely to play for Fulham after receiving another freak injury this week.
Boss Roy Hodgson had hoped he would participate in Fulham's battle against the drop. But former Finland coach Hodgson said: "Jari's the most unlucky fellow I've come across in football.
"Reserve keeper Ricardo Batista smashed the ball into the back of his head. It was like a missile. And the sporting director at Malmo once opened a can of coke and the top popped into Jari's eye!"
