Injury woe for Fulham midfielder

By

Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell is facing up to six weeks on the sidelines.

Sidwell has been told an abdominal injury that troubled him during Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against West Brom is likely to keep him out of action for at least a month.

The news is an untimely blow for Fulham, who are also without forwards Andrew Johnson and Pavel Pogrebnyak.

Johnson is struggling with a groin problem, while Russian Pogrebnyak is still awaiting a work permit following his deadline day move from German club Stuttgart.

On a brighter note for the Whites, Moussa Dembele has been given the all-clear to return following his recent injury and is in the squad for the game against Manchester City.
