Hodgson hails Fulham’s second-string effort

ROY HODGSON claimed last night’s 1-1 draw with CSKA Sofia has convinced him to continue resting his big names for Fulham’s Europa League campaign.

Diomansy Kamara struck in the 66th minute to secure a creditable share of the spoils after Michel gave CSKA the lead at the Vasil Levski National Stadium.

Only John Pantsil and Simon Davies of the side that played against the Bulgarian league leaders can claim to be first-team regulars, a team selection that earned Hodgson some criticism.
