Davis on the mend

Fulham manager Chris Coleman is confident Sean Davis will not be ruled out for a significant period following his knee injury.

The midfielder suffered medial ligament damage during last Wednesday's pre-season friendly victory over Austria's Voitsberg.

Davis was ruled out for the weekend defeat to Roma, but was at the match in Kapfenberg on crutches.

However, Coleman is confident that Davis will make a speedy recovery now that the squad has returned home. "Sean will have a scan today, but the doctor has told me it is not too serious," Coleman said.

Coleman also revealed he is close to signing former Rangers defender Jerome Bonnissel and veteran goalkeeper Dave Beasant, in a coaching role which would also see him registered as a player.
