Hamstring trouble sidelines Christensen for four weeks

Fulham midfielder Lasse Vigen Christensen faces a further four weeks on the sidelines with the hamstring injury he picked up against QPR.

Christensen came off after just six minutes of the win at Loftus Road two weeks ago and may now be out for most of March.

Striker Cauley Woodrow, who suffered a broken toe in the FA Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday last month, is still three weeks away from returning.

Richard Stearman will replace the suspended Fernando Amorebieta when the Whites take on Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Amorebieta was sent-off in the closing stages of Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Leeds United, and boss Slavisa Jokanovic has revealed Stearman will step in.

The summer signing from Wolves has not played for the Whites since the league defeat to Wednesday on 2 January.
