Alvaro Arbeloa has endured a nightmare start to life at Craven Cottage after replacing Marco Silva over the summer.

The ex-Spain international has played down the pressure on his position and confirmed no direct talks have taken place with the club over his future - but the Hull game and an October 24th trip to Coventry City could decide his fate before the end of the month.
