Fulham have doubts over Brian McBride, Papa Bouba Diop and Carlos Bocanegra for their Barclays Premiership clash with Chelsea at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
McBride (ankle), Diop (thigh) and Bocanegra (groin) will be given late fitness tests before the game.
Luis Boa Morte (cheekbone), Jimmy Bullard (knee), Ahmad Elrich (knee), Simon Elliott (calf), Philippe Christanval and Mark Pembridge (calf) are definitely out.
Michael Ballack starts his three-match ban for his red card against Liverpool and misses tomorrow's West London.
Arjen Robben, who returned from a calf injury against Liverpool, could be the man to replace him at the head of Chelsea's midfield diamond.
Joe Cole will not be in the squad. He aggravated a knee injury on his comeback against Werder Bremen and will not be rushed back again.
Chelsea squad: Cech, Ferreira, Boulahrouz, Terry, Carvalho, A Cole, Bridge, Geremi, Makelele, Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Kalou, Wright-Phillips, Robben, Shevchenko, Drogba, Cudicini.
Fulham squad: Niemi, Lastuvka, Rosenior, Knight, Pearce, Queudrue, Brown, Diop, Radzinski, Timlin, John, Helguson, McBride, Volz, Bocanegra, Routledge, N Jensen, C Jensen.
