Fulham striker Bobby Zamora suffered a broken leg in Saturday's 2-1 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, manager Mark Hughes confirmed.
The forward suffered the injury in a challenge with Wolves midfielder Karl Henry after 27 minutes and left the pitch on a stretcher after receiving oxygen.
"He has broken his leg just above the ankle," Hughes told the BBC.
"He will have an operation tomorrow. He's out for a minimum of four months but if it's worse it could be longer. It's a big loss."
Zamora is the fulcrum of what Fulham do, so this is a big loss. But perhaps it's tempered by the arrival of Neal's latest soccer crush, Mousa Dembele. Dembele has hit two goals and two assists in his first two Premier League games and seems the real deal. It will also provide a chance for Zoltan Gera or Clint Dempsey to claim a place as second striker. Gera has always looked better on paper than he does on the field, and Dempsey is still relatively expensive. So at the moment, Dembele is probably the way to go.
Just ask Neal.
This is sad news indeed for fulham...i hope he recovers quickly...they really need him...
ReplyDeleteI have created a league in the Uefa CL fantasy football game on the official UEFA website: Whoever plays it go ahead and enter it. I played it last year and the game is really good!
