Fulham manager Mark Hughes has received some good news as striker Moussa Dembele is only set to be out of action for two weeks following a horror challenge by Stoke City's Andy Wilkinson in the League Cup tie on Tuesday night, according to the Daily Mail.
The Cottagers had already seen striker Bobby Zamora ruled out for a considerable length of time with a leg-break and Hughes will be relieved to know that his forward line is not as depleted as first thought.
There were initial fears Dembele could be facing a lengthy spell out of action, but the £5 million summer signing from Dutch club AZ Alkmaar is set to return to the fold within two weeks, alleviating some of the problems Hughes faces, as Andy Johnson is still facing a number of weeks on the sidelines due to an ongoing knee problem.
Despite arriving in England with a big reputation, Dembele is only rated by the Castrol Rankings as the 1850th best player currently plying his trade in one of the top five leagues in Europe.
