The former England midfielder is struggling with a back injury and is not likely to be available until after the international break.
Winger Floyd Ayite remains an injury doubt with the hamstring problem which has sidelined him for three weeks.
Chelsea loanee Lucas Piazon hopes to be back in two or three weeks after breaking his jaw last month.
Fulham are without a win in each of their last five league clashes with Wolves (D1 L4), even though the Whites have scored six goals in their last two.
Fulham have won a league-high 22 points from losing positions this season in the Championship.

Fulham are now unbeaten in eight Championship matches (W5 D3) - the longest current run along with Ipswich Town.
Fulham last played Wolves in December, MatchDay 20 of this season, and drew 4-4 at Molineux after being in front 3-1 at half-time and needing a 94th minute goal from Ayite to claim a point!!
