Brown back after ban
Fulham midfielder Michael Brown returns for the Barclays Premiership clash with Sunderland tomorrow after a three-match suspension.
Defender Zat Knight could miss the trip north following a clash of heads with team-mate Heidar Helguson in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City.
Carlos Bocanegra could replace Knight with the USA international back in full training over the last couple of weeks following his recovery from a thigh injury.
Former France defender Philippe Christanval, who replaced Knight against City, is also a possible option while injury-prone Claus Jensen may figure in the squad for the first time since October.
Provisional squad: Niemi, Crossley, Warner, Rosenior, Knight, Pearce, Bridge, Malbranque, Diop, Elliott, Boa Morte, Helguson, McBride, Volz, Goma, Radzinski, John, Christanval, Legwinski, Pembridge, Elrich, N Jensen.
