Skipper back on board for Fulham

Fulham captain Luis Boa Morte returns to the squad for tomorrow’s home match against Wigan but he will have to settle for a place on the bench.

The midfielder has been out for five weeks after fracturing his cheekbone against Tottenham and manager Chris Coleman said: “He isn’t ready for a full match yet. He’s been doing a lot of running but hasn’t had any contact while his cheekbone settled down.

Goalkeeper Antti Niemi felt a twinge in his groin in training today but Coleman, who is almost certain to field the starting line up which drew 1-1 at Aston Villa last week, expects him to be fit.

Team (from): Niemi, Rosenior, Knight, Pearce, Queudrue, Brown, Bocanegra, Volz, Jensen, Radzinski, McBride, John, Boa Morte, Lastuvka, Helguson, Zakuani, Routledge.
