Clark misses derby

Fulham go into the west London derby at Chelsea tomorrow without their inspirational skipper Lee Clark, sidelined with a calf problem.

The midfielder aggravated an old injury last week and is due back for next weekend’s Barclaycard Premiership trip to Manchester City.

Reserve goalkeeper Mark Crossley is expected to shake off a back niggle sustained in training yesterday and be on the bench at Stamford Bridge.

First-choice left-back Carlos Bocanegra has finished his three-match ban, meaning youngster Adam Green is likely to drop out of the starring XI.

Provisional squad: van der Sar, Volz, Bocanegra, Green, Legwinski, Goma, Davis, Knight, Djetou, Malbranque, Boa Morte, Petta, Hayles, McBride, Inamoto, Pembridge, Sava, Crossley.
