Fulham have announced that midfielder Mahamadou Diarra will be out for another three to four weeks.

Diarra has struggled with injury this season and recently had to withdraw from the Africa Cup of Nations.

The injury is now expected to keep him out until mid-February at the very earliest, the club revealed on its Twitter feed.

The tweet read: "Team news: Diarra will be out for another 3-4 weeks."

Fulham face Manchester United in the FA Cup on Saturday.
