Bristol City vs Fulham - O'Hara, Smith and Parker back in contention but Richards ruled out
Posted Friday, October 30, 2015 by PA
Fulham welcome Jamie O'Hara back from suspension for Bristol City's visit to Craven Cottage.
The midfielder missed the 4-2 win over Reading after picking up his fifth booking of the season.
Jazz Richards injured his calf in that game and is likely to be missing for around three weeks, but Northern Ireland Under-21 captain Liam Donnelly has been recalled from a loan at Crawley.
Matt Smith and Scott Parker are back to full fitness and in contention for starting places.
Loan signing Nathan Baker could feature for Bristol City despite limping out of the derby at Cardiff with a hamstring problem.
Baker, signed on a season-long loan deal from Aston Villa on the final day of the summer transfer window, hobbled off inside 25 minutes of the goalless draw on Monday and was replaced by Joe Bryan.
It was feared at the time Baker could be out for several weeks, but boss Steve Cotterill said it is not a serious hamstring injury and rates the centre-back's chances of making it as 50-50.
Scott Wagstaff has returned to training after a calf problem, which has kept him out for two months but Cotterill is likely to name an unchanged side if Baker passes a fitness test.
