Nine changes for Fulham

Wed, 16 Sep 18:12:37 2009

Fulham will make nine changes for Thursday's Europa League Group E clash against CSKA Sofia.

Only goalkeeper David Stockdale and defender and John Pantsil survive from the starting line-up that defeated Everton 2-1 in the Barclays Premier League on Sunday.

First team regulars Danny Murphy, Clint Dempsey, Paul Konchesky, Damien Duff and Mark Schwarzer are in the treatment room but are expected to return for Sunday's clash with Wolves.

Boss Roy Hodgson has opted to rest the likes of Andrew Johnson, Bobby Zamora and Brede Hangeland and will call on first team fringe players such as Erik Nevland and Bjorn Helge Riise.

  3. I think Roy will field a strong side for the home leg­ but he's well aware the disruption to the Premier­ League performance following the trip to Russia a few­ weeks ago. The away game at Wolves is an important game­ to build on from the win on Sunday and also to make the­ leagues 'weaker' teams are below us in the­ table. Canny man is Roy
