Fulham hoping for double boost ahead of Everton FA Cup tie

Fulham are hoping to receive a double boost for the FA Cup tie against Everton with Mousa Dembele and Orlando Sa both back in training this week.

The duo were forced to miss the 5-2 win over Newcastle on Saturday through injury but are expected to declare their fitness for the fourth round clash on Friday night.

Dembele was ruled out with a hip injury which he sustained against Blackburn at Ewood Park.

Sa was also missing after picking up a hamstring strain during a reserve game last week.

But Fulham boss Martin Jol is confident that the attacking duo will be fit to take their place in the squad which travels to Goodison Park.

Jol said: "Mousa was not part of the squad as he had not recovered well enough from the hip pain that ended his involvement at Ewood Park after 35 minutes. He is expected to return to training by the middle part of the week.

"Orlanda Sa sustained a hamstring injury during a reserve match, but we are hopeful that he will be in training from Monday."
