Lewis Holtby has returned to the Fulham team to give Felix Magath's side a boost for Saturday's match with Hull City at Craven Cottage.

The German was ineligible for the defeat to parent club Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, but he is back in the team to provide support for Hugo Rodallega.

Mahamadou Diarra is given a start in midfield, while there is also a place for Sascha Riether as Fulham go in search of three valuable points in their battle against relegation.

Hull manager Steve Bruce makes just one change as Steve Bruce replaces George Boyd to give the visitors an extra defensive option.

Fulham: Stockdale, Heitinga, Hangeland, Amorebieta, Riise, Riether, Parker, Sidwell, Diarra, Holtby, Rodallega

Hull: Harper, Rosenior, Bruce, Chester, Davies, Meyler, Huddlestone, Livermore, Jelavic, Long, Elmohamady
