Fulham defender Moritz Volz is set for his first appearance since puncturing a lung in early December as Liam Rosenior is suspended for the visit of West Brom.
Midfielder Sylvain Legwinski is back in contention following an ankle injury, but Michael Brown and Simon Elliott (both hamstring) are doubts at a time when Papa Bouba Diop is still away on African Nations Cup duty.
Long-term absentees Mark Pembridge (knee) and Phillippe Christanval (ankle) are back in training but neither will be considered for tomorrow’s game.
Squad (provisional): Niemi, Volz, Knight, Bocanegra, Bridge, Malbranque, Radzinski, Boa Morte, Helguson, John, McBride, Goma, Warner, N Jensen, Elliott, Brown, Legwinski, Crossley.
