Republic of Ireland midfielder Damien Duff will be given a fitness test to see if he has overcome an Achilles injury ahead of Sunday’s game at Wigan.

But the Fulham manager Roy Hodgson is likely to be without key duo Andrew Johnson and Danny Murphy.

Johnson (shoulder) and captain Murphy (knee) both missed Thursday’s Europa League defeat against Roma which could mean a start for Bobby Zamora in attack.

Dickson Etuhu could start after recovering from a knee injury.

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