FULHAM are boosted by the return of Steve Sidwell for Sunday's Craven Cottage clash.

The midfielder has been sidelined since the FA Cup defeat in Bolton back in February, but is available again after recovering from a knee injury.

Defender Aaron Hughes is expected to overcome the shoulder problem he suffered on international duty to partner Brede Hangeland at the heart of defence.

Meanwhile, Bobby Zamora will be fit for a place on the bench, despite being ill this week.
