After their draw with Bolton Wanderers, Fulham defender Brede Hangeland admits their long injury list is a concern.

Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson must now patch up his players as best he can and rouse them for another big push to first face Bulgarians CSKA Sofia then Sunderland three days later.

Hangeland said: "This season there have been more injuries than in the whole of last season so that is a worry. But I think that people have come in and done really well.

"I don't think the team is looking weaker although we have some of our best players out. We will have to work hard.

"Bolton base their game on being physical. I've always stood up to it well - but when they score first you know it's going to be hard because they will put people between the ball and the goal and try to defend."
