Zamora undergoes surgery on broken ankle

Fulham striker Bobby Zamora has undergone surgery on the broken ankle he sustained in the Premier League match against Wolverhampton.

The London club says "the operation was viewed as successful by the surgeon and the fracture to the fibula was repaired."

Ligament damage was also discovered during Sunday's surgery on the England international, who was carried off on a stretcher in the first half of the match on Saturday after a tackle by Wolves captain Karl Henry.

Fulham manager Mark Hughes said he expected Zamora, who won his first England cap last month, to be out of action for four months.
