Marcus Bettinelli in line for Fulham recall as Claudio Ranieri bids to solve defensive woes. Claudio Ranieri is considering bringing back keeper Marcus Bettinelli to try and solve Fulham ’s defensive worries.
Fulham boss Ranieri has stuck with Spanish keeper Sergio Rico since taking charge in November but the relegation strugglers have still been leaking goals.
The latest defeat to Tottenham last Sunday has left Ranieri pondering a change in goal for Tuesday's clash with Brighton to try and shake things up and turn results around.
England prospect Bettinelli, 26, is a firm fans’ favourite while Rico does not speak fluent English which has been seen as an issue.
Bettinelli’s stats measure up favourably to on-loan Rico as the England under-21 international has averaged more than three saves per game.
Bettinelli, who has twice been called up by England boss Gareth Southgate, has better distribution and has made more claims and punches in half the amount of games Rico has played.
Fulham have the worst defensive record in the Premier League, conceding 51 goals in 23 games, and have a goal difference of minus 30.
But Ranieri has had little success in the transfer window as their No1 choice Gary Cahill has not been done as he is on £150,000-a-week at Chelsea and Fulham have been unable to agree a loan deal.
