The Cottagers are in a decent position after recording a 3-1 first-leg win at Craven Cottage last week.But manager Roy Hodgson has a host of injury concerns ahead of Thursday's tie against the Russian Premier League club.Fulham, already without Andy Johnson, will also be missing Danny Murphy, Bobby Zamora and Paul Konchesky.Striker Johnson suffered a broken collarbone in that encounter last Thursday at Craven Cottage, while captain Murphy, striker Zamora and left-back Konchesky all picked up knocks in the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.Hodgson has yet to reveal who he will bring into his side for the match - which will be played on an artificial pitch.Fulham head into the fixture having lost their previous outing 2-0 against Premier League giants Chelsea.Meanwhile, Amkar Perm manager Dimitar Dimitrov believes an early goal for his side will put a whole different complexion on the tie.He said: "I think we are prepared psychologically because, although we have seen that our opponents are of course a very good side playing in the Premier League, we still have a chance - and I am sure we will play to our full potential."I think if we get the early goal then the psychological advantage will be with us."
