Kit Symons is without Welsh defender Jazz Richards as his Fulham side prepare to welcome Birmingham City to Craven Cottage this afternoon.
Fellow defender Ryan Fredericks and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan also miss out through injury, but former England midfielder Scott Parker returns to the bench after illness.
The Blues gave late fitness tests to Paul Robinson and David Cotterill, but neither man was passed fit to start.
However, Maikel Kieftenbeld does take his place among Gary Rowett's substitutes after recovering from a groin problem.
Fulham: Lewis; Stearman, Burn, Ream, Husband; Christensen, Tunnicliffe, O'Hara, Cairney; McCormack, Dembele
Subs: Rodak, Garbutt, Hutchinson, Parker, Kacaniklic, Woodrow, Smith
Birmingham City: Kuszczak; Caddis, Morrison, Spector, Grounds; Gleeson, Davis, Gray, Toral, Maghoma; Donaldson
Subs: Legzdins, Kieftenbeld, Solomon-Otabor, Brown, Shinnie, Lowry, Brock-Madsen
