Ahead of the team selection tomorrow against AFC Bournemouth apart from three: James Tomkins, Jeffrey Schlupp and Martin Kelly.
Hodgson began on a positive note, saying: "The frame of mind is excellent and the attitude of players has been excellent right the way through, since we started some five weeks ago. But we do have injury problems, like other clubs. These things happen."
He then turned his attention to the team's sidelined players: "James Tomkins hasn’t recovered, we hoped he would but he hasn’t. Jeff Schlupp picked up an injury during our training sessions early on and he's still out with that injury and now Martin Kelly has picked up a calf injury to add to the thigh injury that he had and suffered from.
"It’s a bit disappointing, especially with regards to James Tomkins and Martin Kelly, who were injured basically when we stopped and I was rather hoping they’d recover. But they’ve picked up fresh injuries."
Meanwhile, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe confirmed that winger Ryan Fraser will not play for them before his contract expires at the end of this month while David Brooks could play for the first time this season after suffering multiple injuries
