Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov will miss Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash against former club Manchester United with a hamstring injury.
The Bulgarian pulled his hamstring in the 3-1 defeat of West Ham and will be out for up to 10 days for the Cottagers, who will also be without Steve Sidwell, Mahamadou Diarra (both knee), Kerim Frei (pelvis) and Kieran Richardson (calf).
AC Milan loanee Urby Emanuelson could make his debut, although fellow deadline-day signings Stanislav Manolev and Eyong Enoh are unavailable as they wait for their work permits.

Sir Alex Ferguson is intending to make changes for United's trip south.
Rio Ferdinand is line for a recall and fellow defender Jonny Evans is back after a hamstring injury.
