Hodgson admits managing Fulham defeat to Man City with eye on Cup

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson admits he managed his team in defeat to Manchester City yesterday with an eye on their FA Cup replay against Tottenham.

Hodgson took off Bobby Zamora and Zoltan Gera early in the second half in preparation for the FA Cup quarter-final replay against Tottenham on Wednesday. He is also hoping that Brede Hangeland will have recovered from a chest problem.

"Hangeland is injured but hopefully fit for Wednesday," he said. "(John) Pantsil is a long way away, weeks."
