Fulham's midfield resources will be stretched to the limit for Wednesday night's Carling Cup clash with Wycombe at Craven Cottage.
Portuguese winger Luis Boa Morte is out with a suspected fractured cheekbone sustained during Sunday's goalless draw at Tottenham.
The club captain is joined in the treatment room by midfielders Papa Bouba Diop (thigh), Jimmy Bullard (knee), Ahmad Elrich (knee), Simon Elliott (calf) and Mark Pembridge (calf).
Defender Philippe Christanval, who can play in midfield, could return from his knee injury and there may be be call-ups for youngsters Matthew Collins, Michael Timlin and Chris James.
Wycombe boss Paul Lambert has opted to rest on-loan Cottagers goalkeeper Ricardo Batista.
Batista will play no part at Craven Cottage even though he is eligible so Jamie Young, who played in the previous round at Swansea, will get the nod.
QPR loanee Tommy Doherty has been cleared to play after joining last week, while Anthony Grant is back from a ban.
Sergio Torres remains sidelined by a knee injury though, with Stefan Oakes ruled out by an ankle knock and Chris Palmer by a dislocated shoulder.
Fulham (from): Niemi, Lastuvka, Rosenior, Pearce, Queudrue, Christanval, Brown, Radzinski, Timlin, Collins, James, John, Helguson, McBride, Volz, Bocanegra, N Jensen, C Jensen.
