Bullard back in Fulham training

Good news:

Jimmy Bullard returned to pre-season training with Fulham on Monday and is aiming to be back in action as quickly as possible.The 28-year-old midfielder, a £2.5million signing from Wigan last summer, has not played since dislocating his kneecap against Newcastle at the beginning of September.

Bad news:

"Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm kicking a ball around again.

"As I've said before, I don't want to set a specific date for my return but hopefully it won't be too long into the season and I can't wait to get back out on the pitch and thank the fans for all their support in the best way possible - by putting in some good performances.

Bullard began last season like a house on fire and looked to be a not only a great signing for Fulham - bringing energy and offering a real scoring threat from midfield - but a blossoming fantasy stud. Here's hoping he comes back soon. Kamara could use the service.
