Fulham boss Hodgson sweating on Hangeland injury

Fulham have a major injury concern over Brede Hangeland ahead of their Europa League return-leg clash with Juventus.

Hangeland was forced off in yesterday's 3-0 defeat at Manchester United.

"It's not good at the moment and we'll have to assess the injury," said Hodgson after the match at Old Trafford. "He has a spasm caused by a blow to the chest. It was doubtful at half time that he would continue but he gave it a try.

"We hope it's not a major injury but it's affected us today of course because we had to reshuffle after going a goal behind.

"He's in the dressing room having treatment at the moment and we'll assess the injury tomorrow [Monday] and get a clear picture of what has happened."
