Double blow for Fulham

Fulham will be without skipper Luis Boa Morte and centre-back Ian Pearce for Sunday’s final Premiership match of the season, against Middlesbrough at Craven Cottage.

Boa Morte (groin) and Pearce (knee) were both injured in last night’s defeat at Sunderland but Antti Niemi, who missed the Stadium of Light clash to have a scan on his knee, should return.
