Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has reinforcements at his disposal

Boss Slavisa Jokanovic has a host of new faces at his disposal for Fulham's home clash against Derby.

The Cottagers signed midfield pair Zakaria Labyad and Rohan Ince on loan from Sporting Lisbon and Brighton respectively on transfer deadline day and brought in defender Michael Madl from Sturm Graz.

Centre-back Fernando Amorebieta is also in contention after his loan at Middlesbrough was cut short and the Venezuela international returned to west London early.

Young striker Moussa Dembele saw a proposed move to Tottenham collapse on Monday and he is likely to be involved.

Darren Bent and Andreas Weimann will return to the Derby squad.

Neither player has featured since the FA Cup win at Hartlepool on January 9 but head coach Paul Clement, who began his coaching career at Fulham and spent seven years at the club, will include both on Saturday as he looks at more attacking options.

Clement will make changes after the goalless home draw with Preston in midweek. Bradley Johnson was replaced by Jeff Hendrick in the only change on Tuesday night and he will be pushing for a recall in midfield.

Recent signing Markus Olsson is an option in defence as he awaits his Derby debut while Johnny Russell is also vying for a starting role.
