Hodgson hoping for fitness lift

Roy Hodgson has several fitness concerns ahead of Fulham’s trip to Manchester City for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League match.

Simon Davies missed yesterday’s draw with Roma but could make the squad after stepping up his rehabilitation from a foot injury.

Danny Murphy and Dickson Etuhu have knee injuries, Andrew Johnson is struggling with a shoulder problem, while Kagisho Dikgacoi is still suspended following his sending off at West Ham.

Team (from): Schwarzer, Zuberbuhler, Konchesky, Pantsil, Hangeland, Baird, Smalling, Kelly, Hughes, Dempsey, Gera, Andranik, Duff, Riise, Greening, Etuhu, Davies, Kamara, E Johnson, Nevland, Seol, Zamora, Elm.
