Fulham’s Antonee Robinson remains sidelined with a knee injury and he has been joined in the treatment room by Rodrigo Muniz, who has undergone surgery after injuring his hamstring in the defeat at Everton before the international break.
Sasa Lukic is also ruled out due to suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season last time out, so Alex Iwobi could be tasked with moving into a deeper midfield role alongside Sander Berge.
Josh King and Emile Smith Rowe could therefore battle it out for a start in the number 10 role behind striker Raul Jimenez, who is still searching for his first home goal of the season, while Harry Wilson will hope to retain his starting spot on the right flank after scoring a hat-trick for Wales earlier this week.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, King, Kevin; Jimenez

As for Sunderland, Habib Diarra (groin) and Aji Alese (shoulder) remain sidelined, while Saturday’s game will also come too soon for Dennis Cirkin (wrist), Romaine Mundle (hamstring) and Leo Hjelde (Achilles) who have all been building up their fitness with the academy sides.
Le Bris has confirmed that Reinildo Mandava is “fine” despite withdrawing from the Mozambique squad with hamstring discomfort, while Omar Alderete will be assessed after missing the last three games with concussion.
Star performer and captain Granit Xhaka is expected to continue in centre-midfield alongside Noah Sadiki, while Simon Adingra and Chemsdine Talbi will be pushing to start ahead of Bertrand Traore and Enzo Le Fee on the flanks.
Sunderland possible starting lineup:
Roefs; Hume, Mukiele, Ballard, Geertruida, Reinildo; Xhaka, Sadiki; Traore, Isidor, Le Fee
