However, Fulham boss Jean Tigana is hoping Alain Goma passes a fitness test. The centre-back was rested against the Hammers after returning from a hamstring problem in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Defender Martin Djetou is standing by for his full debut.
Fulham (from): Van der Sar, Finnan, Ouaddou, Brevett, Knight, Melville, Goma, Collins, Inamoto, Malbranque, Legwinski, Marlet, Djetou, Taylor, Boa Morte, Hayles.
