Fulham have no fresh injury concerns as they look to continue their decent run of Sky Bet Championship form at home to Derby.
Slavisa Jokanovic's side have lost just once in their last seven games and beat Rotherham 2-1 on Tuesday night to move into the top 10.
Given the build-up in fixtures around the festive period, Jokanovic could be tempted to rotate his squad for the visit of the Rams.
Veteran Scott Parker is pushing for his first start since October while the likes of Lucas Piazon and Denis Odoi will be eyeing a place in the starting XI.
Derby will check on Johnny Russell after the Scottish forward sat out Wednesday night's 1-0 victory over QPR due to a hip problem.
Russell was an unused substitute at Loftus Road with Rams boss Steve McClaren reluctant to risk him during the game.
Will Hughes will continue to play through the pain barrier after he broke a bone in his left hand in training last week. The central midfielder has played the last two games against Nottingham Forest and QPR wearing a protective cast.
Forward Ikechi Anya (knee) and left-back Max Lowe (hip/groin) will again be absent at Craven Cottage. Anya has not featured in the last six matches and has not started a first-team game since the goalless draw against Brentford on October 18 while Lowe has missed the last three games.
