FULHAM
Fulham manager Mark Hughes has confirmed his striker Andrew Johnson has suffered a minor hamstring tear and will not play Saturday’s FA Cup match against Peterborough. The 29-year-old striker was forced from the pitch in Fulham’s latest win over West Bromwich
Albion and Mark Hughes does not want to risk him.
The Fulham boss said: "We have to be careful with Andy. He has had games in close succession, he had tightness in his hamstring and was a little sore on Monday. We took him for a scan and it came back that he had a grade one tear. At a push he could have
played but if he had torn it completely it would be a five, six week injury and we couldn't afford that. It's usually eight to 10 days for a grade one."
Fulham are currently placed 14th in the league standings with 22 points to their credit out of 21 games. Fulham will play their next Premier League match against Wigan Athletic at DW Stadium on January 15, 2011.
