Bolton
Meanwhile Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is facing an injury crisis ahead
of the crucial game on Tuesday.
He could be without five key players at Craven Cottage as the club go
in search of the victory that will keep them in the top flight.
Central defender Mike Whitlow picked up a groin injury in the 1-1 draw
against Tottenham on Saturday while midfielder Kevin Nolan suffered a
hamstring injury.
With Paul Warhurst, Stig Tofting and Ricardo Gardner still injured, Allardyce's
resources are being stretched to the limit.
The one bonus for the Bolton boss is that Greece international Kostas
Konstantinidis is free from suspension. And he would be an obvious replacement
for the experienced Whitlow if he fails to make it.
With Ipswich losing to Arsenal on Sunday, Bolton need two points from
their remaining three games to stay up.Allardyce may be tempted to continue
with the front-line partnership of Dean Holdsworth and Michael Ricketts
against Fulham.
They worked well in tandem after replacing Rod Wallace and Fredi Bobic,
with Holdsworth getting the equaliser.
