Fulham boss Hodgson happy to hand Riise, Elm Cup chance

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson was pleased to hand several fringe players their chance in the FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley.

The likes of Bjorn Helge Riise are using the Cup run to establish himself at the Cottagers.

Hodgson told fulhamfc.com: "I'm also pleased that people like Bjorn Helge Riise and David Elm got their chance because they're going to need this type of experience and practice because for a long time they've been sitting on the sidelines watching other people play."
