Fulham FC News in association with 
Roy Hodgson revealed that Paul Konchesky is in contention for Saturday's FA Cup clash at the Cottage |whilst captain Danny Murphy will face a fitness test on Saturday morning.
"Paul Konchesky is back in contention for a place in the Team, "said Hodgson during Friday afternoon's press conference. "He’s recovered from his January injury.
"Danny Murphy will have a fitness test tomorrow [Saturday] morning and we’ll assess whether the injury he picked up when he had to leave the field at Sunderland has fully healed. It will be touch and go.
“Other than that it is the long term injuries of Pantsil, Dempsey, Andrew Johnson and KG Dikgacoi. They are the players that remain out of contention."
No one at Fulham is underestimating the task at hand at the Cottage on Saturday but as Hodgson explained, the players are clearly relishing the opportunity to fight for a place in the Semi-Finals of the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday evening.
“We’ve been preparing for the game with the players today [Friday] and yesterday, looking into the Tottenham team, and I must say, they’ve got an enormous array of riches, not least in the attacking area of the field.
“We expect them to be remarkably difficult to play against and expect it to be a very tough game; one worthy of this level of the competition.
“We know what’s ahead – if we are lucky enough to win it we’ve got a trip to Wembley for the first time in 25 years. That in itself is all the motivation we need.
“My Wembley appearances have been extremely limited and it would be great on a personal note to lead the Team out for a Semi-Final at Wembley. More importantly I think it would be great for the Club.
“These are the type of goals you can set yourself at the start of the season and when you get this close to them you realise you’re never going to have a better opportunity to cross the line.
“They [the players] deserve the plaudits that come their way but I know they’re not satisfied. They want to take it a step further and now it’s a question of whether we’re good enough.
“Our players on Saturday will be fully aware that this is a great opportunity that has come our way and we’ve worked for it. Now we’ve got to do what’s necessary to bring home the bacon.”
