David Rozehnal was full of praise of Newcastle teammate Claudio Cacapa after his comeback game for Saturday's win at Fulham.

The Czech Republic defender said: "First of all Claudio is a great player, what happened to him (against Portsmouth) is a big pity. He made some mistakes, but football is like that.

"Sometimes you can look like the worst footballer in the world, you make mistakes and people think you are terrible. But he is a great player and a strong player as we saw against Fulham. He did a great job.

"I felt really good playing close to him. He has a lot of experience, there is big pressure on us and we need this type of big player on the pitch."
