Two more Fulham defenders have been ruled out of their trip to the Amex on Saturday.

Cottagers boss Kit Symons confirmed this afternoon that Fernando Amorebieta and four-goal right-back Tim Hooglan will miss the six-pointer against Albion.

They were already missing suspended centre-back Dan Burn.

Amorebieta has suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee injury.

He has not featured since limping out of the draw against Blackpool at the beginning of the month but had initially seemed in the running for a comeback at the Amex.

Hoogland has a pelvic injury.

Symons said: "Tim is progressing but is frustratingly slow. Fernando was getting close but was getting a lot of irritation, so we've had to take him back a little bit with his rehab."

Fulham have the worst away defensive record in the Championship and have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels this season.

They could bring in Jack Grimmer, who has been recalled from a loan stint at Shrewsbury Town.

Grimmer impressed as an attacking right-back in an FA Cup tie against the Seagulls while on loan at Port Vale last season.
