Arbeloa on De Fougerolles, transfers and paying to watch Palacios

Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light (kick-off 14:00 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: The club are unsure on the severity of Luc de Fougerolles' injury, which forced him off in the second half of Thursday's match. They hope it is "nothing serious". On the Canadian's future at the club: "He needs to play every week. Maybe we have to take a decision over the next few days on what is the best solution for him." When asked about potential incomings before the transfer window shuts next week: "For me, who just started, I am looking for players that can fit in my system. I think we are ready to improve the squad in the next few days." Arbeloa is "not surprised" with how quickly Gonzalo Garcia has settled in at the club: "I've known him since he was 17 so I know his winning mentality, ambition and quality. He is powerful, strong and good with the ball." Cesar Palacios, another former Real Madrid player, needs more time to settle in at Craven Cottage: "He has different attributes to Gonzalo, but he is doing great in training. Cesar is the type of player you buy a ticket to watch him play. I have a lot of confidence that he will do really well this season." On Sunday's opponents: "It will be a difficult game against a European team. We know away games are always difficult in the Premier League. We need to play with the same character and mentality as we do at home but it won't be so easy."
