Fulham
Fulham midfielder Luis Boa Morte will be examined by club physio Jason Palmer
this morning to decide if he is fit to play against Sam Allardyce's men.
The Portugal international winger was forced off after just nine minutes
at Elland Road, with a knee injury. He is rated doubtful for the Wanderers
match.
Midfielder Lee Clark (calf) is out until pre-season training in July,
while centre-back Chris Coleman, out for more than a year with a broken
leg from a car accident, is also focusing his comeback on next season.
Fulham (from):
Edwin van der Sar(G), Maik Taylor(G),
Steve Finnan(D), Andy Melville(D/C), Alain Goma(D/C), Abdeslam Ouaddou(D/C),
Zat Knight (D/C), Rufus Brevett(D), Jon Harley(D),
Sylvain Legwinski(M), John Collins(M), Sean Davis(M),
Steed Malbranque(M/A), Luis Boa Morte(M/A),
Bazza Hayles(A), Steve Marlet(A), Louis Saha(A).

Bolton
Meanwhile Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is facing an injury crisis ahead
of the crucial game on Tuesday.
He could be without five key players at Craven Cottage as the club go
in search of the victory that will keep them in the top flight.
Central defender Mike Whitlow picked up a groin injury in the 1-1 draw
against Tottenham on Saturday while midfielder Kevin Nolan suffered a
hamstring injury.
With Paul Warhurst, Stig Tofting and Ricardo Gardner still injured, Allardyce's
resources are being stretched to the limit.
The one bonus for the Bolton boss is that Greece international Kostas
Konstantinidis is free from suspension. And he would be an obvious replacement
for the experienced Whitlow if he fails to make it.
With Ipswich losing to Arsenal on Sunday, Bolton need two points from
their remaining three games to stay up.Allardyce may be tempted to continue
with the front-line partnership of Dean Holdsworth and Michael Ricketts
against Fulham.
They worked well in tandem after replacing Rod Wallace and Fredi Bobic,
with Holdsworth getting the equaliser.
Bolton (from):
Jussi Jaaskelainen(G), Kevin Poole(G),
Bruno N`Gotty(D), Mike Whitlow(D), Gudni Bergsson(D), Paul Warhurst(D),
Anthony Barness(D), Simon Charlton(D),
Kevin Nolan(M), Per Frandsen(M), Ricardo Gardner(M), Youri Djorkaeff(M),
Gareth Farrelly(M), Nicky Southall(M), Mario Espartero(M),
Bo Hansen(A), Dean Holdsworth(A), Fredi Bobic(A), Michael Ricketts(A), Rod
Wallace(A).
