Wolves vs Fulham preview - Sako missing for Wolves

Posted Monday, January 12, 2015 by PA

Wolves will again be without Bakary Sako for Tuesday night's FA Cup third-round replay with Fulham at Molineux.

The midfielder featured in the first clash at Craven Cottage but has since been called up for African Nations Cup duty with Mali and missed Sunday's 1-0 Championship win at Blackburn.

Teenage defender Kourtney Hause played at Ewood Park over the weekend but is cup-tied here having appeared in an earlier round for Gillingham while out on loan.

Dutchman Rajiv van La Parra showed he has recovered from concussion during the victory over Rovers but Tommy Rowe is out for three months with a broken foot.

Alex Kacaniklic could push for a return to Fulham's starting line-up as Kit Symons seeks a cutting edge in attack following four games without a goal.

Since being recalled from a loan spell at FC Copenhagen, the 23-year-old Swede has played 45 minutes of an Under-21s match and came on for the last half an hour of Saturday's 1-0 loss at Cardiff.

Fellow midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe featured for the full game in Wales after returning from a loan spell at Blackburn and is again available.

Lasse Vigen Christensen missed the weekend match after limping off 32 minutes into the first clash with Wolves due to a hamstring strain and is not expected to be risked again.
