Fulham goalkeeper Andy Lonergan is expected to be out for four to six weeks after suffering another hamstring injury.

The 32-year-old was taken off in the 0-0 draw at Middlesbrough last month but recovered to regain his place in goal for the 4-1 victory at Bristol City on Saturday.

However, despite playing the full 90 minutes at Ashton Gate, he aggravated the injury, which kept him out of the team that lost 3-1 at Burnley on Tuesday.

Captain Scott Parker, who missed both the game at Bristol City at the weekend and Tuesday night’s trip to Turf Moor, has resumed training again after a niggle.

Sakari Mattila didn’t travel with the squad to Burnley having been taken ill on Monday.
