Fulham duo struggling ahead of Saints trip
Bryan Ruiz will have a fitness test ahead of Fulham’s trip to Southampton on Saturday and defender Brede Hangeland is a major doubt.
Ruiz was carrying a back injury during the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace, according to Whites boss Martin Jol, while Hangeland is struggling with sciatic nerve problem.
“We have to test Bryan Ruiz tomorrow – he has a back problem,” Jol said.
“We kept him on during the Crystal Palace game and he had to have an injection afterwards. Hopefully it will settle.
“Hangeland has got problem with a nerve in his leg so will probably be out.
“He was injured before and he had a medical check and played two international games.
“I thought ‘that was quick’ but I asked him if he was fit and he said he was.”
