Fulham boss Mark Hughes claims striker Bobby Zamora is a doubt for England duty after picking up a knock against Blackpool.

Zamora, who earned his first international cap in the recent friendly against Hungary, was expected to be part of Fabio Capello's squad for the upcoming Euro 2012 double-header against Bulgaria and Switzerland.

However, he picked up a thigh problem during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Bloomfield Road and is a major doubt for international duty.

Hughes said: "Bobby went really stiff at half-time. He thought it was just a bang on the muscle and went out again. But he could not shake it off.

"I think he must be a doubt (for England) unfortunately. He was really looking forward to getting a chance.

"I will imagine he will go and be assessed by the England medical team and we will receive the information as quickly as we can. But at the moment he looks doubtful."
