Johnson injury blow as Fulham bid to roll Swiss

FULHAM striker Andy Johnson has suffered another injury setback after being ruled out of tonight’s decisive Europa League clash with FC Basle.

Johnson, 28, had been poised to make his comeback from a groin injury after a 12-match absence as Fulham chase the victory in Switzerland that would secure them qualification for the knockout stages.

But the England striker did not travel with the rest of the squad yesterday after suffering a reaction in training and he remains doubtful for Saturday’s Barclays Premier League clash with Manchester United.
