SOME OF THE SCOTT PARKER P/C
Scott Parker:
Everyone is back [from international duty] and accounted for. Just literally came in this morning, the later ones have just arrived. Everyone is back, everyone is healthy but we'll have a clearer insight on that tomorrow.
Parker on Mario Lemina:
He's been training for the last week or ten days, so he's a lot closer than what he was last time.

Parker on Lookman
Ade was disappointed like we all were. Like most things in life, you need to learn from those mistakes and move on.
Says he will be a big player for Fulham this season.
On pen takers:
We'll work out the best way to go nearer to the game
On Mitro
He's just come in today. He's disappointed. The same applies to Aleks (as Ade). He's a strong personality.
I have no doubt that Aleks will be raring to go come the weekend.
Mitro low on confidence
As always people judge him on goals, but the last two games his work ethic and what we need from him has been exceptional.
Says goals haven't quite happened, but believes it'll turn in near future.
On five subs
Says would probably not benefit Fulham as much as the top clubs.

Points to vote at start of season, but if data suggests otherwise then would be considered.
Covid tests

They've got a manager there who is world class and players who are likewise
