In the "Premier League" club in 12th place defender Zat Knight suffered a broken jaw in Saturday's match against "West Ham" after a collision and will not be able to play for two months.
The 26-year-old player, who served as captain, substituted one of the team's leaders, Luis Boa Morte, who collided head to head with another striker Heidar Helguson during the team's training session in September, missed yesterday's match and will also be unable to play in Tuesday's match against the bottom team "Charlton".
"I am very devastated because just last week I received the captain's armband," Knight said. - "I took this responsibility very seriously. I probably feel that I was entrusted with leading the team in vitally important matches of the season."
The team coached by Fulham head coach Chris Coleman has recently been plagued by injuries and the strategist insists that the team will greatly miss Z. Knight's help in the coming weeks.
"It is incredibly unfortunate for us and Zat, because this season he has been playing well and demonstrating maturity and consistency," said C. Coleman. - "We need a bit of luck to avoid injuries, but luck has not been on our side. Our bench is very young and inexperienced."
Iceland's H. Helguson will also miss the trip to London for the match against "Charlton" due to accumulated yellow cards, while striker Collins John and defender from Denmark Claus Jensen should join the team after overcoming hamstring problems.
