Cardiff v Fulham: Whites duo out, Bluebirds injury worries

Fulham will be without Joe Bryan and Tom Cairney for Saturday’s visit to Cardiff.

Bryan remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Cairney is short of match fitness.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah could yet feature as he nears a full recovery from a dislocated shoulder.

Provisional squad: Bettinelli, Rico, Fabri, Christie, Fosu-Mensah, Odoi, Chambers, Mawson, Ream, Le Marchand, Ayite, Ryan Sessegnon, Seri, Kebano, McDonald, Johansen, De La Torre, Anguissa, Steven Sessegnon, Schurrle, Vietto, Mitrovic, Fonte, Kamara.

Cardiff midfielder Joe Ralls begins a three-match ban and is set to be out even longer.

Ralls chipped a bone in his knee during the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham he was sent off in, and he could be out until after the next international break.

Midfielder Aron Gunnarsson (knee) and back-up goalkeeper Alex Smithies (shoulder) are available but Cardiff are short on strikers, with Danny Ward ruled out by a knee injury and Gary Madine struggling with a virus.

Provisional squad: Etheridge, Smithies, Richards, Cunningham, Morrison, Bamba, Connolly, Manga, Bennett, Arter, Damour, Gunnarsson, Camarasa, Paterson, Hoilett, Murphy, Reid, Zohore, Madine.
