Jensen's still sidelined

Claus Jensen, Fulham’s summer recruit from Charlton, has been ruled out for at least six more weeks with hamstring trouble and is among his team’s casualties for Sunday’s Barclays Premiership trip to Newcastle.

Claus Jensen, Fulham’s summer recruit from Charlton, has been ruled out for at least six more weeks with hamstring trouble and is among his team’s casualties for Sunday’s Barclays Premiership trip to Newcastle.

Defenders Alain Goma and Ian Pearce are still absent also with hamstring injuries but skipper Sylvain Legwinski returns to the squad after missing five games with a sprained ankle.

Manager Chris Coleman recalls fit-again goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar but the Dutch international is unlikely to displace Mark Crossley, who has kept a clean sheet in the last two games.

Provisional squad: Crossley; Volz, Knight, Rehman, Bocanegra, Malbranque, Diop, Pembridge, McKinlay, Legwinski, Green, John, Radzinski, Cole, Boa Morte, McBride, Green, Van der Sar.
