Fulham boss bemoans injury problems

By

Fulham manager Felix Magath bemoaned the problems which affected his side ahead of their defeat at Tottenham.

Sascha Riether was a late omission because of illness, while Kieran Richardson and Mahamadou Diarra picked up knocks in training on Friday.

And the injured Scott Parker was forced off as the Whites were beaten 3-1 at White Hart Lane.

Magath said: “We had problems before the game – injured or ill players – and had to change the team.

“Riether is ill so he stayed at home, Richardson tried this morning but he has a muscle problem and Diarra has knee problems.

“Parker took a kick on the muscle but he is confident he can play next week – I think all the players will be fine for then.”

Fulham host Hull next Saturday, with three games left to save themselves from relegation, and Magath is targeting wins in their two remaining home games to beat the drop.

“We are relying on our home games and if we win those it might be enough to stay in the league,” he said.
