**In-form Fulham striker Bobby Zamora is expected to start Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final first leg tie against Wolfsburg despite a heavy cold.**Zamora was sent home from training on Wednesday but should recover in time to partner Zoltan Gera up front.

Dickson Etuhu, Damien Duff, Aaron Hughes and Danny Murphy are all set to return to Roy Hodgson’s starting XI.

Wolfsburg have a major worry over star striker Edin Dzeko, who picked up a knee injury in training on Monday.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson: "Wolfsburg were in the Champions League, they won the German league last year ahead of Bayern Munich. And Bayern Munich have just beaten Manchester United - so we have no chance.

"What I’ve learned about Wolfsburg I have only learned since we were drawn against them. But I know they are a good team, they score a lot of goals, they have good attacking players and they are hard-working and well-organised.

"We feel a sense of achievement and pride that we have overcome so many obstacles to get this far.

“Having overcome those obstacles, many of which were in the shape of very good teams, we have earned the right to believe in ourselves and to believe that, if luck continues to favour us, we can go even further.”

Fulham (squad): Schwarzer, Konchesky, Baird, Riise, Hughes, Smalling, Etuhu, Duff, Murphy, Gera, Davies, Zamora, Dempsey, Zuberbuhler, Greening, Kelly, Hangeland, Stoor, Nevland.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
