Hodgson was left to reflect on a "very expensive" night after
losing at the Britannia Stadium and losing both Zamora and
centre-back Brede Hangeland to injury. Zamora, with 11 goals this
season, is the more serious of the two after coming off worse in a
challenge with Abdoulaye Faye early in the second half. The
Cottagers ace fell heavily on his right shoulder and Hodgson said
he expected the player to be out for a few weeks. "It is bad. It is
a dislocation - I don't know whether it is a collar bone or a
shoulder, but either way it is a bad injury," said the Fulham boss.
"It is a very expensive day for us. We were forced to replace
Hangeland at half-time with a recurrence of his knee injury and we
lost Zamora early in the second half and we have also lost the
game." Fulham are scheduled to return to action at home to
Portsmouth on Saturday, weather permitting. Fulham manager Roy
Hodgson has confirmed striker Bobby Zamora suffered a "bad injury"
in Tuesday's 3-2 Premier League defeat at Stoke.
