Fulham will have to make do without Damien Duff for tomorrow's West London derby against Chelsea.

The Irish winger has failed to recover from an abductor injury that he picked up early on during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Duff spent three years as a Chelsea player up until the summer of 2006 when he joined Newcastle United for £5m.

The Whites will also be without suspended midfielder Steve Sidwell, while Ashkan Dejagah and Mahamadou Diarra have been ruled out for the remainder of the season with ankle and knee problems respectively.
