Fulham’s Fredericks nursing an injury

Fredericks wants to return to London for personal reasons

Ryan Fredericks will miss Fulham’s visit to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday through injury.

The recent arrival from Bristol City made his Whites debut as a substitute in the win over Blackburn last weekend, but has picked up a knock that rules him out of the trip to Hillsborough.

The fitness of centre-backs Shaun Hutchinson and Nikolay Bodurov will be assessed ahead of the game.

Fulham are currently 13th after winning their last two Championship matches, while Wednesday’s goalless draw at Bolton on Tuesday leaves them 18th.

The Owls, who include former Whites loanee Michael Turner and ex-Chelsea youngster Sam Hutchinson in their ranks, have not won in the league since the opening day of the season.
