Baird sidelined

Fulham defender Chris Baird has tonsillitis and is ruled out of the Barclays Premier League trip to Wigan tomorrow.

Striker Diomansy Kamara (knee) has caught the eye in training but is short of match-fitness.

Late decisions will be made on whether new signings Olivier Dacourt and Giles Barnes are ready for their debuts.

Provisional squad: Schwarzer, Konchesky, Pantsil, Hangeland, Johnson, Zamora, Nevland, Gera, Murphy, Kamara, Gray, Hughes, Zuberbuhler, Etuhu, Stoor, Dempsey, Davies, Milsom, Brown, Kallio, Barnes, Dacourt.
