Cottagers without midfield duo

Fulham are missing suspended midfielders Luis Boa Morte and Papa Bouba Diop for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership clash at Birmingham.

Club captain Boa Morte picked up a red card against West Brom last Saturday - Steed Malbranque, who has been struggling all week with a tight hamstring, will take the captain’s armband – while Diop has accumulated five yellows.
