Fulham
Facundo Sava has been given the all-clear to lead the Fulham attack against Manchester City at Loftus Road on Saturday.
The Argentinian striker made a surprise early comeback from his calf problem to start and score in the 1-1 Boxing Day draw with West Ham at Upton Park.
Sava was substituted but the club confirmed he had suffered no recurrence of his injury.
However, attacking quintet Louis Saha (hamstring), Barry Hayles (neck), Luis Boa Morte (thigh) and Andrejs Stolcers (leg) are all out until the New Year or beyond.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who has broken a bone in his right foot, must rest for a month before discovering how much longer his lay-off will be.
Midfield duo Lee Clark (calf) and Junichi Inamoto (ankle) are sidelined for three more weeks.
Fulham (from):
Maik Taylor(G), Martin Herrera(G),
Steve Finnan (D), Abdeslam Ouaddou(D/C),
Andy Melville(D/C), Alain Goma(D/C), Zat Knight(D/C),
Rufus Brevett(D), Pierre Wome(D),
Sean Davis(M/D), Martin Djetou(D/M),
Sylvain Legwinski(M), Bjarne Goldbaek(M),
Steed Malbranque(M/A),
Facundo Sava (A), Steve Marlet (A).

Man City
Manchester City midfielder Danny Tiatto could be set for a lengthy stint on the sidelines after being forced off during the interval of the 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
Manager Kevin Keegan fears Tiatto has suffered a hernia problem which will require an operation.
It means City are likely to show two changes for the trip to Fulham, with Danish international Niclas Jensen the obvious replacement for Tiatto, while club captain Ali Benarbia, who scored one goal and created another in City's Boxing Day win, a certain starter, probably in place of Shaun Wright-Phillips.
