Fulham’s goalscorer on Saturday, Ian Pearce, faces a spell on the sidelines after suffering ligament damage in his foot. The defender played through the pain to great effect at the weekend but a post-match scan has revealed minor damage to the foot. While it’s not a long-term injury, Pearce will be doubtful for Fulham’s 2 games over Easter against Everton and City. Christanval is likely to slot back into defence in Pearce’s absence.
