Fulham v Everton team news

Luis Boa Morte is back
Luis Boa Morte is back

Club captain Luis Boa Morte is set to return to Fulham's starting line-up for tomorrow's home match against Everton.

Boa Morte played 22 minutes as a substitute in last week's 1-0 home defeat by Wigan after five weeks out with a fractured cheekbone.

He will replace fellow midfielder Michael Brown, who is suffering from a badly bruised ankle.

Defender Nuno Valente is back in Everton's squad for the game, having returned to training after a groin injury.

But whether the Portugal international is considered for a place in the starting line-up depends on how many of boss David Moyes' squad are still suffering from the virus which has been rife in the camp.

Moyes is still without injured players Alessandro Pistone, Tony Hibbert, David Weir, Paddy Boyle and Gary Naysmith.

Fulham team: Niemi, Rosenior, Knight, Pearce, Queudrue, Boa Morte, Bocanegra, Volz, Jensen, Radzinski, McBride, Boa Morte, John, Lastuvka, Helguson, Zakuani, Routledge.

Provisional Everton squad: Howard, Neville, Yobo, Stubbs, Lescott, Valente, Arteta, Davies, Carsley, Cahill, Osman, Beattie, McFadden, Johnson, Turner, Hughes, Anichebe.
