Fulham
French striker Louis Saha looks favourite to replace injured Barry Hayles for Fulham in Sunday's Barclaycard Premiership match at Birmingham.
Argentinian Facundo Sava is also in the reckoning and may job-share a lone-striker role with Saha if manager Chris Coleman keeps the 5-4-1 formation from Fulham's 3-0 win at Tottenham two weeks ago when Hayles scored twice.
Hayles is out with ankle damage sustained playing for Jamaica against Australia last Sunday, but defenders Andy Melville (foot) and Martin Djetou (thigh) have recovered from injuries while Mark Pembridge, a £500,000 signing from Everton, could make his Fulham debut in midfield.

Birmingham have a doubt over central defender Kenny Cunningham ahead of Sunday's clash with Fulham at St Andrews.
Cunningham damaged his groin while playing for the Republic of Ireland against Russia in Dublin last week.
Darren Purse and Olivier Tebily are both competing to replace Cunningham if he loses his battle to be fit.
Apart from doubts over Dugarry and Cunningham and long term absentees Nico Vaesen and Martin Grainger, the Blues boss has a full squad from which to choose his 16.
