Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has revealed that he is struggling with exhaustion after his first couple of games in the Premier League.
Pogrebnyak has netted two goals in as many games since moving to the London club fom Stuttgart in January but admits that adjusting to the English league is taking time.
The Russian striker told The Express after the weekend 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers: "I haven't been this exhausted for a long time. The match was very intense, hardly any pauses.
"Tough challenges and big powerful defenders are difficult to adjust to initially.
"I am in a great mood, of course. I never expected to get off to such a good start. Hopefully my form will continue."
Pogrebnyak will become a free agent in the summer.
