Tomas Kalas' hamstring injury sees him ruled out once more as Fulham make the trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Chelsea loanee has been out of action for a month with the problem but Slavisa Jokanovic is expecting that he can return to full training next week.

Floyd Ayite has stepped up his recovery from an ankle injury by joining the senior squad again but the trip to Villa Park may be too soon, while the Whites boss believes that Tom Cairney will be available on Saturday.

Jokanovic said: “It's only Tomas Kalas who is outside of the squad. We expect he can start working with us next week.

“Floyd Ayite started working today for the first time after a long period. He's now back with the group and we're going to assess him and choose what we believe is better for him and for us. He'll soon be ready to help us.

“Tom Cairney was working with us. He would have been ready for the last game and we believe he can be available this Saturday.”
