Jensen ruled out of Arsenal clash

Denmark international midfielder Claus Jensen will miss Fulham’s Premiership home match against champions Arsenal tomorrow after suffering a strained calf in training.

But French midfielder Steed Malbranque is included in the squad for the first time this season after recovering from a groin injury during pre-season training.

Malbranque has not had the benefit of a reserve team run out but has trained so well this week that manager Chris Coleman decided to bring him straight back into the squad, although he will start on the substitutes’ bench.

Fulham (from): Van der Sar, Volz, Goma, Knight, Bocanegra, Diop, Legwinski, Boa Morte, Cole, Radzinski, John, McBride, Pembridge, Malbranque, McKinlay, Rosenior, Crossley.
