Fulham boss Roy Hodgson insists he's not treating the Europa League poorly by making nine changes for their clash with CSKA Sofia.

"We're not neglecting the tournament," Hodgson said. "When Aston Villa and Tottenham [Hotspur] fielded what they thought were weaker teams [last season] there was virtually no one from their first team.

"All our players are in the first-team squad."
