Fulham
The only name on the Fulham injury list for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final
showdown with Chelsea is long-term casualty Lee Clark.
The midfielder picked up an Achilles injury in the 0-0 draw against Charlton
on Boxing Day, and then a calf strain on his return against Liverpool
at the beginning of March.
Barry Hayles was hit with a three-match FA ban earlier this week, but
as the club has launched an appeal he is free to play at Villa Park
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),

Sylvain Legwinski(M), John Collins(M), Sean Davis(M),

Chelsea have a number of injury problems to address, with Jesper Gronkjaer,
William Gallas, Graeme Le Saux, Celestine Babayaro and Mikael Forssell all
having missed the midweek goalless draw at Blackburn.
Physio Mike Banks admitted: "We've gone from a clean bill of health
to losing Jesper Gronkjaer and William Gallas, and now we've picked up
minor muscle injuries for Graeme Le Saux and Celestine Babayaro.
"We're a little bit unsure where we're going with all of them at
the moment. We will bide our time although we're hopeful."
Gronkjaer is confident of being fit after a foot injury but if Le Saux
and Babayaro are still ruled out, Albert Ferrer could again be asked to
fill in as an emergency left-back as he did at Ewood Park.
Claudio Ranieri fears Fulham's team ethic, rather than any one individual.
He said: "There isn't one over-riding danger with Fulham as they
have a very good squad.
"They play good football but this season they have lacked one good
striker."
Chelsea (from):
Carlo Cudicini(G), Ed De Goey(G)
Albert Ferrer(D), John Terry(D), Marcel Desailly(D), Mario Melchiot(D),
Mario Stanic(M), Frank Lampard(M), Emmanuel Petit(M), Boudewijn Zenden(M),
Sam Dalla Bona(M), Slavisa Jokanovic(M),
Gianfranco Zola(A), Eidur Gudjohnsen(A), Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink(A), Carlton
Cole(A).
