Fulham remain without winger Harry Wilson, who will serve the second of the three-match suspension for his dismissal at Huddersfield while Bobby Decordova-Reid and Josh Onomah have been passed fit for the Hull City game.
Decordova-Reid missed the 2-1 win over Millwall on Tuesday with a minor injury and Onomah was withdrawn at half-time after picking up a knock.
Tyrese Francois and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa are quality players to have to come in at the level, with the latter pushing for a start as Marco Silva attempts to retain his services past the 31st August transfer deadline.
Harrison Reed is likely to remain sidelined along with Tom Cairney and Terence Kongolo.
Whites boss Marco Silva, who will face his former club, said: “Tom is still out. Harrison Reed started (training) with the team and is working with them.
He’s doubtful for this match and needs more time.
“But Bobby is available and Josh is 100% fine.”
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Gazzaniga; Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson; Seri, Onomah; Kebano, Carvalho, Cavaleiro; Mitrovic

Huddlestone may be given an opportunity in the Hull midfield, taking the spot of either Richard Smallwood or Greg Docherty.
Tom Eaves is also an option in attack, either as a replacement for Josh Magennis or as part of a two-man forward line if McCann opts for a change in tactics.
Mallik Wilks (calf) and George Honeyman (ankle) won’t be involved, nor will George Moncur as he serves the second of his three-match suspension, although Ryan Longman (groin) is nearing a return.
Centre-back Alfie Jones is also q fitness doubt as 23-year-old defender, an ever-present in the league so far, is struggling with a groin problem.
Hull City possible starting lineup:
Ingram; Coyle, Jones, Greaves, Elder; Smallwood, Huddlestone; Williams, Smith, Lewis-Potter; Magennis
