Fulham boss Roy Hodgson must decide whether to bring fit-again pair Andy Johnson and Danny Murphy back into his starting XI.

Striker Johnson (groin) and midfielder Murphy (knee) have both returned to full training after being out for more than a month.

Damien Duff and John Pantsil will be recalled after starting on the bench in the Cottagers' 1-0 defeat at Birmingham on Saturday, but striker Diomansy Kamara (knee) is out for at least a fortnight.

Gael Givet is Blackburn's only injury doubt ahead of the team's trip to Craven Cottage.

The French defender could miss out after suffering a dead leg, but otherwise Rovers have a fully-fit squad.

One definite absentee, however, will be manager Sam Allardyce, who is preparing to undergo surgery on Friday and will sit out the match as he did for the team's 2-0 win at Bolton on Sunday.

Assistant manager Neil McDonald will once again take Allardyce's place in the dugout.

Teams:

Fulham (from): Schwarzer, Zuberbuhler, Konchesky, Pantsil, Hangeland, Baird, Smalling, Kelly, Hughes, Etuhu, Murphy, Dempsey, Gera, Riise, Greening, Duff, Davies, E Johnson, Nevland, Seol, Zamora, A Johnson.
