Jol has confirmed that Bredeâs injury is a worry. No mention of surgery being considered though. please log in to view this image âFulham fear skipper Brede Hangelandâs sciatic nerve problem could turn out to be a long-term injury. The 32-year-old defender has been sidelined since he was substituted at half-time in the win over Crystal Palace in October, and the Whites have lost all four of their subsequent matches without him. Hangeland is unavailable for Saturdayâs home game against Swansea and boss Martin Jol has admitted the Norwegianâs absence is becoming a serious concern. âIt could be long term. Originally I said it would be one week, now itâs been two weeks and it will probably be three weeks,â said Jol. âThe problem is that he is training with us and afterwards you have to make a decision on him, and most of the time that decision is negative. He is not fully fit and we canât take the risk. He is still having the same problems as when he played and we had to take him off twice.â âWe talk with him and I trust him 100%, but if he doesnât trust his own body with the problem with his nerve then I canât play him.â Source: http://www.westlondonsport.com/fulham/football-brede-hangeland-injury-fulham-fc-737372 If the captaincy is no longer a temporary thing, now is the time to give it to Scotty Parker. Indeed Jolâs choice will determine whether he is a pushover or a winner.
