Fulham boss Hodgson raps international friendlies

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson admits he's unhappy with the timing of this week's international friendlies.

"We are a little unhappy that 13 out of the 15 players that went away have played 90 minutes and some other clubs seem to have got away with their players being substitutes at half-time," said Hodgson.

"Six or seven of those players are not back in time for this afternoon's training session. So our preparations for this week's game are the worst they have been since I came to the club because we will only have Friday morning to work with the team before we travel to Derby.

"We contacted them all and the news is good there. There is no-one seriously injured but I can't guarantee that there aren't players coming back with knocks.

"David Healy has come back with a knock, which hopefully will see him okay to train tomorrow. That could be the case with one or two of the others."
