Bocanegra issues apology 12 February, 2004

Fulham defender Carlos Bocanegra has apologised to Mark Delaney for a late tackle that saw the Aston Villa player leave the pitch on a stretcher.
Referee Barry Knight sent off the American for the two-footed challenge during Villa's 2-1 victory and now Bocanegra is keen to clear the air.
"I would like to say to Mark in public that I am sorry," said Bocanegra.
"There was no intent whatsoever, I was going for the ball. I just hope Delaney will heal quickly."
"I spoke to him on the team bus after the game and he was feeling a little better," Bocanegra added.

"His leg was wrapped up but they think he is going to be all right and I hope it works out for him."
Bocanegra has established himself at the heart of the Fulham defence since his move from Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire last month.
