Aaron Hughes is a doubt with a thigh problem that saw him withdraw from Northern Ireland's squad in midweek, and Kieran Richardson is still out.
New West Brom signings Stephane Sessegnon and Morgan Amalfitano could well start, though Victor Anichebe lacks match fitness.
Midfielder James Morrison (groin) is a doubt.
Three of Fulham's next four matches are at Craven Cottage, with Cardiff and Stoke following West Brom's visit. Those are the type of games Martin Jol will know he needs to get points from, to build a base to improve on last season's 12th place finish. His team have lost their last five Premier League matches at home and that needs to be addressed.
The Cottagers got their 2013-14 campaign off to a winning start against Sunderland, but have failed to pick up a point in their last two fixtures before the international break.
Pajtim Kasami and Maarten Stekelenburg could return to the fold at Craven Cottage, while Darren Bent is likely to start up front alongside Berbatov in attack.
At the other end of the pitch, West Brom head coach Steve Clarke could call on his deadline-day signings Victor Anichebe and Stephane Sessegnon following Shane Long's failed move to Hull City.
The Baggies are yet to get their first win of the season following a draw and two defeats, the latest being a 2-0 loss to Swansea City.
