Zamora under the knife

(13-09-2010) Fulham striker Bobby Zamora has undergone surgery on the broken leg he suffered in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Wolves. However, ankle ligament damage was also discovered during the operation on Sunday, raising fears that the England international striker could face even longer on the sidelines. "He's broken his leg just above the ankle and is out for a minimum of four months," confirmed Fulham boss Mark Hughes after the game. Hughes also refused to blame Karl Henry, the Wolves player involved in the tackle that broke Zamora’s leg. "It's a shame but I don't really lay the blame on the player [Henry]. It's one of those," added Hughes. "There's always a danger if you get tackled from the side or from behind that players' legs can get trapped.” Zamora hit 19 goals for the Cottagers last season, as they surged into Europa League final and finished 12th in the EPL.
