FULHAM defender Philippe Senderos has been ruled out of tomorrow's clash with a groin injury.

The Swiss star suffered a recurrence of the problem in last weekend's defeat to Manchester City, and scans have shown the centre-back will likely to be missing for a couple of weeks.

Aaron Hughes is expected to fill the void at the back, while John Arne Riise is likely to replace Chris Baird on the left-hand side of defence.

However, boss Martin Jol is boosted by the news that new signing Pavel Pogrebnyak is available after obtaining a work permit.

The deadline-day arrival from Stuttgart joined up with his new team-mates on Wednesday, and could be handed a start, with Andy Johnson still struggling with a groin injury.

Steve Sidwell (hernia) is still out while Zdenek Grygera (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Tickets for tomorrow's game will be available on the gate, priced from £30 adults, £10 juniors.
