Hughes blasts Young challenge

Fulham chief fears defender faces spell on the sidelines

Fulham boss Mark Hughes has criticised Aston Villa defender Luke Young for his tackle on Carlos Salcido. Salcido was forced off as a result of Young's challenge during Fulham's 1-1 draw with Villa at Craven Cottage on Saturday. The Mexican defender is facing a few weeks on the sidelines with ankle ligament damage and Hughes was unhappy with the manner of the challenge from Young. "It doesn't look good in fairness. He's in a boot at the moment," said Hughes. "I've seen the tackle on video and the lad's gone over the top and I would imagine it's ligament damage. "I don't want to say how long but it'll be a number of weeks."
