Fulham facing final wait for injured wing wizard Duff

FULHAM manager Roy Hodgson hopes the injury which Damien Duff picked up during Wednesday night’s defeat against Stoke will not rule him out of next week’s Europa League final against Atletico Madrid.

Duff hobbled off at half-time during the Barclays Premier League defeat with a leg muscle injury.

The Republic of Ireland winger has been an integral part of the Cottagers’ European campaign, which has seen them brush aside the likes of Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk and Wolfsburg to reach Wednesday’s final in Hamburg.
