Fulham boss Roy Hodgson expects offers to arrive for midfielder Jimmy Bullard.

Bullard, 29, has attracted interest from Stoke and Blackburn after talks over a new Fulham contract broke down.

He has 18 months left on his current deal and is currently out with a groin problem.

Hodgson said: "It would be naive to think we won't get any offers for Jimmy just because he is injured at the moment.

"Look at Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz, he's been injured yet he is still being linked with a move.

"Is Jimmy under the radar as he's not playing? That's not a bad thing but I'd prefer he was as he's one of our best players."
