Crossley may make Fulham return

Fulham goalkeeper Mark Crossley might be available for the St Stephen's Day clash with Premiership champions Arsenal after showing progress in his recovery from a groin problem.

Fulham goalkeeper Mark Crossley might be available for the St Stephen's Day clash with Premiership champions Arsenal after showing progress in his recovery from a groin problem.

Crossley was the man in possession of the number one shirt until he sustained the injury against Blackburn last month, so manager Chris Coleman may give him the nod ahead of Edwin van der Sar.

Midfielder Claus Jensen (back) and forward Luis Boa Morte (hamstring) are still at least one week away from completing their rehabilitation programmes, while Moritz Volz will be hoping to regain his right-back spot from Liam Rosenior.

Provisional squad: Van der Sar, Crossley, Flitney, Rehman, Knight, Goma, Volz, Bocanegra, Radzinski, Diop, Malbranque, Pembridge, Cole, Legwinski, McBride, Hammond, Pearce, Rosenior.
