Malbranque set to make Cottagers return

Fulham midfielder Steed Malbranque is in line for a recall against Blackburn on Saturday after showing sufficient remorse for last weekend’s tantrum.

Malbranque stormed out of Craven Cottage after discovering he had not even won a place on the bench against Everton, a match Fulham won 2-0 to guarantee their Barclays Premiership survival.
