Fulham's Swiss keeper Zuberbuhler happy with understudy role

Fulham stopper Pascal Zuberbuhler has no problems with being second choice at Craven Cottage. The 38-year-old keeper moved to the Cottagers last year, but has yet to make a Premier League appearance for the club.

Speaking to the club's official website, Zuberbuhler said, "I feel very happy and proud to be at this club and I will return my experience and knowledge as best as I can.

"I have been a professional for a very long time now and I won more than 50 caps for Switzerland. I think I have a lot to give.

"Of course, you want to be first-choice, but, as I have said, I am behind a wonderful goalkeeper. It has been a new experience for me, but one that I have still enjoyed.

"I'm already looking forward to the start of the new season, because last year was a massive achievement for everyone involved.

"It is going to be difficult to improve, but the challenge itself presents a wonderful opportunity."
