Jensen is primed for Fulham

Fulham manager Chris Coleman could give Claus Jensen his first start for more than three months in tomorrow's FA Cup fifth-round clash at the Reebok Stadium.

The former Bolton midfielder, who has been struggling with a hamstring problem, scored his first goal for the club when he appeared as a substitute in the 4-2 fourth-round replay victory at home to Derby last Saturday.

Frenchman Sylvain Legwinski is the most likely player to make way, allowing Jensen to join Papa Bouba Diop and Lee Clark in the centre of midfield.

Alain Goma is also expected to return to the centre of defence with Zesh Rehman or Zat Knight dropping to the bench as Coleman attempts to add experience to a youthful back four that has leaked five goals in their last two matches.

Former West Ham defender Ian Pearce has been included in the squad, leaving only Steed Malbranque, who suffered ankle ligament damage against West Brom at the beginning of last month, and Jerome Bonnissel on the sidelines.
