Fulham star Cairney still sidelined

Fulham will again be without captain Tom Cairney when they host Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The midfielder has been out for four weeks with a knee injury and is still not ready to return.

Left-back Rafa Soares is recovering from an ankle problem and will play for the Under-23s against Blackburn on Monday.

Middlesbrough have no new injury concerns, with strikers Rudy Gestede and Martin Braithwaite both sidelined.

Their squad includes on-loan Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker, his former Blues team-mate Patrick Bamford and ex-QPR loanee Fabio.
