Scott Parker says Fulham are at full strength for tonight's game against Aston Villa as they bid to get their season up and running after two defeats from two in the Premier League.
Fulham are already up against it at the bottom and even at this early stage the visit of Villa feels like it could be a significant one in their season.
“I think we’re all good,” said Parker. “There are no injuries as such, just the general management of the squad and players really. We’re at full strength.”
Anthony Knockaert scored in Wednesday’s 2-0 Carabao Cup win against Sheffield Wednesday, but is among the subs this evening.
Parker said: “I think I've said this from the outset, and it'll remain my main voice this year, that we're going to lose football matches this year and we can't afford them to really cripple us and we can't take that into a really negative spiral.”
