Hodgson still has top ten Fulham ambitions

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson still targets a top ten finish despite the distractions of a European final. The Cottagers play Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final on May 12 but Hodgson wants a high finish in the Barclays Premier League before then.

"Although it is difficult in the immediate aftermath of the semi-final against Hamburg to think of anything else but the meeting with Atletico Madrid that lies ahead, we must complete our domestic season," said Hodgson.

"It is still a very real objective to finish in the top 10 and I believe it is healthy to retain this target.

"The remaining matches will play an important part in our mental and physical preparation for the final, so to maintain a winning mentality throughout would certainly be of benefit."
