Fulham
Fulham travel to Dinamo Zagreb for their UEFA Cup clash without strikers Louis Saha, who faces another three weeks out with hamstring trouble, and Facundo Sava, who has a calf problem. The Premiership side return to Croatia, scene of their first-round win over Hajduk Split, looking to improve on a recent dip in form.
Midfielder Sean Davies, who missed last week's defeats by West Ham and Southampton, will be out for another month with a fractured toe.
Tigana also revealed captain Andy Melville, who was to be rested, will be preferred to Zat Knight, who struggled in Sunday's defeat by Southampton.
Tigana said: "I will go with experience. Zat has made mistakes, his performance against Southampton was not very good. He's lost a bit of confidence.
"I spoke to Andy yesterday. He knew about his situation in the side 15 days ago, after he'd played many games, including for his national team."
