Dimitar Berbatov faces a late fitness test if he is to be in contention for Fulham's Barclays Premier League clash at Norwich on Boxing Day.
The 32-year-old missed the 4-2 defeat to Manchester City with a groin injury but manager Rene Meulensteen is hopeful he will be fit for the match at Carrow Road.
It is in defence where Meulensteen has most of his worries as both Brede Hangeland (back) and Philippe Senderos (abductor) are missing as well as Matthew Briggs (hernia).
