ZDENEK Grygera's chances of landing a new Fulham deal were dealt a blow after he suffered a setback in his comeback from injury.

The versatile Czech defender is out of contract after suffering cruciate ligament damage back in November last year, but is still training with the Whites in a bid to earn fresh terms.

Grygera was nearing full fitness after playing a handful of games for the reserves, only to pick up a thigh problem last week.

And boss Martin Jol will wait until the injury clears up before making a decision on his future.

He said: “Grygera has had a setback because he got injured. He looked ever so well, played in the reserves and kept them together and they had better results than before.

“He has a thigh problem so we have to wait and see because we wanted to make a decision on him in the next week and now there's a little step back again.”
