Tom Cairney remains sidelined for Fulham as Leeds visit London

Fulham captain Tom Cairney remains sidelined with a knee injury as the Londoners prepare for the visit of Leeds.

Cottagers boss Scott Parker has said Cairney’s progress with managing an ongoing knee problem can change from day to day.

Fulham will also be without top goalscorer Bobby Decordova-Reid for the Premier League game against Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Leeds striker Patrick Bamford is expected to be fit for the trip to Craven Cottage.

The 27-year-old lasted just 35 minutes of Saturday’s goalless home draw with Chelsea after suffering a hip problem, but head coach Bielsa is confident he will be available.

Defender Liam Cooper will miss out once again as a result of illness, while striker Rodrigo is a doubt due to a muscle injury picked up in training this week.

Fulham provisional squad: Areola, Tete, Andersen, Tosin, Aina, Anguissa, Reed, Lemina, Lookman, Loftus-Cheek, Cavaleiro, Fabri, Hector, Ream, Bryan, Onomah, Kongolo, Robinson, Mitrovic, Maja

Leeds provisional squad: Meslier, Ayling, Dallas, Llorente, Struijk, Costa, Phillips, Shackleton, Roberts, Rodrigo, Raphinha, Klich, Bamford, Alioski, Harrison, Berardi, Casilla, Koch, Poveda, Jenkins, Huggins.
