Parker poised for Fulham return

Fulham captain Scott Parker is poised to return to the starting line-up against Ipswich.

The former England midfielder started Tuesday night's 3-1 defeat at Bolton on the bench having only just recovered from illness.

Defender Tim Hoogland is finally over the hernia problem which has sidelined him since October, but manager Kit Symons does not want to rush him back too quickly.

Fellow full-back Fernando Amorebieta is also on the mend after a knee injury but the Ipswich clash is probably too soon for him as well.

Ipswich hope to have striker David McGoldrick available.

A thigh injury caused McGoldrick to sit out Tuesday's 2-1 home win over Sheffield Wednesday which saw manager Mick McCarthy make five changes.

Freddie Sears, Teddy Bishop, Stephen Hunt, Darren Ambrose and Jonathan Parr all came into the side as Town halted a three-game winless streak.

Tyrone Mings was a half-time introduction for Hunt and could well return to the starting line-up while McCarthy has also confirmed Dylan Connolly, a recent signing from Shelbourne, will travel with the squad.
