Spurs won't protest if Fulham field reserves at Arsenal
Fulham have been given the green light to field a weakened side against Arsenal on Sunday with both the Premier League and Tottenham 'highly unlikely' to complain if Roy Hodgson rests his star names ahead of the Europa League final. [LNB]A request by Fulham to have their final league game of the season brought forward to Saturday was rejected by the Premier League on the grounds it could damage the integrity of the competition. [LNB] Plenty in reserve: Fulham have been granted permission to field a weakened side at Arsenal this weekend[LNB]The same reasoning could certainly be applied to the case of Fulham fielding a weakened team at the Emirates as defeat for Arsenal and victory for Spurs against Burnley would see Harry Redknapp's side finish above their North London rivals in third spot. [LNB]But Spurs, who sealed fourth place by beating Manchester City, are ready to let Hodgson prepare in a way which gives Fulham the best chance of victory over Atletico Madrid in Hamburg, even if it means they must qualify for the group stages of the Champions League next season by competing in the final play-off round. [LNB] Down and out: Bobby Zamora is struggling to find fitness ahead of next week's Europa League final[LNB]Hodgson is sweating on the fitness of winger Damien Duff, who was withdrawn at half-time against Stoke with a suspected muscle injury. [LNB]Bobby Zamora is also struggling with his achilles problem and has not played since lasting only 58 minutes of Fulham's semi-final second-leg win over Hamburg last week.[LNB] Fulham fans left furious over Europa League final ticket fiascoFulham 0 Stoke 1: Injury woes concern Hodgson as Etherington wings itFULHAM FC
