Fulham will be without Sylvain Legwinski for Tuesday's FA Cup third-round
replay against Wycombe. Sylvain hobbled off with a bruised thigh early in the
Saturday game with Middlesbrough. Midfielder Lee Clark is also unavailable as
he has been sidelined for three weeks with an achilles problem .
On the positive side Boss Tigana will have Luis Boa Morte available again for
selection as he has completed his one match suspension.
Although Jean Tigana has said: "The FA Cup is very important, especially
for me. When I played, my dream was to play in a final at Wembley" with a
hard Premiership game away at Sunderland on Saturday he may be tempted to rest
on or two players.

Wanderers
Wycombe boss Sanchez will make changes with defender Paul McCarthy (knee) and
Andy Rammell (ankle) sidelined and Danny Senda suspended for the match.
Consistent performer at left-back Chris Vinnicombe will return to the side following
his one game suspension for reaching the five yellow card disciplinary limit,
and Paul Emblen could make the bench.
After his sharp introduction on Saturday against Wrexham where he played fifteen
minutes, Sean Devine could also make a bid for the bench.
Wanderers will be playing in the orange change strip to avoid potential confusion
with colours of the shorts.
Sanchez is looking forward to the game but does have reservations. "I feel
you only get one chance at a Premiership side and maybe ours has gone.
We played so well in the first match it was sickening to see them draw level with
only two minutes left. Fulham have already seen what we are capable of and will
not take us lightly. Our players have been in this situation before; I remember
our visit to Wimbledon in the fifth round last season. Not many people gave us
a chance at Selhurst but look what happened, we went on to win and then beat Leicester
at Filbert Street. It will be a tough game for us, they beat Middlesborough on
Saturday to take a firmer grip on their Premiership survival, but the cup is so
different and we are hoping that will give us the opportunity we are looking for
in the replay".
