Fulham without Boa Morte

Fulham boss Chris Coleman remains without captain Luis Boa Morte as they prepare to face unbeaten Aston Villa on Saturday.

Boa Morte fractured a cheekbone against Tottenham earlier this season and is not expected to return until early November.

Simon Elliott and Mark Pembridge (both calf) are still unavailable but Philippe Christanval (knee) could be back in contention. Jimmy Bullard (knee) is out for the season.

Provisional squad: Niemi, Rosenior, Pearce, Knight, Queudrue, Routledge, Volz, Diop, Bocanegra, Brown, Radzinski, McBride, Helguson, Claus Jensen, Lastuvka, John, Christanval.
