Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has reportedly hit out at veteran Finland forward Jari Litmanen, who has yet to feature for the Cottagers.
The 37-year-old former Ajax and Liverpool frontman has played for his country twice since moving to Craven Cottage in January, but has yet to declare himself fit to join the club's fight for Premier League survival.
Hodgson fumed: "Jari hasn't completed more than ten per cent of the training sessions since I've been at the club.
"He hasn't played one game in a Fulham shirt and has played two matches for Finland.
"He has been injured, but, strangely, the fitness periods seem to coincide with Finland matches.
"He hasn't done it yet for me in the two-and-a-half months I've been here.
"Now we have to wait and see if he can take part in one of our training sessions."
