'Not about me' - Arbeloa dismisses future questions

What the report says

Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa has played down talk about his own future as pressure builds on the club ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Hull City at Craven Cottage. BBC Sport reports that Fulham are bottom of the table with two points from six games, still searching for their first league win of the season.

Arbeloa said the situation was about the team, the supporters and the club rather than his job security. He pointed to recent matches in which Fulham led late on or were competitive for long spells, including defeats to Ipswich Town and Manchester United and a goalless draw at Liverpool, as evidence that his players can perform well. He said the challenge is to keep that level for a full 90 minutes.

The BBC article says Arbeloa, who joined Fulham in July on a three-year deal after a brief spell as Real Madrid interim head coach, is facing growing scrutiny after a difficult start in English football. The club has still progressed in the Carabao Cup and will face Crystal Palace in the last 16 later this month, but league results are likely to be decisive. The report adds that another setback against Hull could intensify internal pressure on the Spaniard.
