Fulham will be without a number of key stars tomorrow as they welcome Cardiff City to Craven Cottage.

Captain Tom Cairney, Rafa Soares, Rui Fonte, Neeskens Kebano and Sheyi Ojo are all ruled out of the Championship tie as a result of injury, but new boys Yohan Mollo and Jordan Graham may play some part in the game.

Cairney pulled out of the Scotland internationals as he nursed a knee injury, while Kebano and Ojo both picked up knocks whilst away on international duty.

Fonte, meanwhile, is still nursing a groin problem he suffered in the 2-0 win over Ipswich.

Speaking at his press conference, the boss said: “Lucas Piazon is out for a long time. Rafa Soares has still not started working with us, we expect he can be part of the group in the next two weeks and I can probably think about using him after the next internal break.

“Tom Cairney is out for this game, Rui Fonte too. (Neeskens) Kebano and Sheyi Ojo came back with some problems after international duty, and they are not going to be available for tomorrow’s game. I believe that’s it.”
