Bullard out of Owls trip

Jimmy Bullard has been ruled out of Fulham’s FA Cup third-round tie at Sheffield Wednesday through illness.

Cottagers manager Roy Hodgson is likely to rotate his squad following a busy Christmas period.

But Zoltan Gera (calf), Andranik Teymourian (knee) and Diomansy Kamara (knee) remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Schwarzer, Konchesky, Pantsil, Baird, Hughes, Murphy, Dempsey, Davies, Zamora, Johnson, Zuberbuhler, Nevland, Gray, Etuhu, Stoor, Andreasen, Kallio, Hangeland.
