Fulham trio cleared to return to training

Fulham trio Scott Parker, Brede Hangeland and Dimitar Berbatov have been given the all-clear to return to training ahead of Monday’s match against Crystal Palace.

Parker missed Fulham’s recent victory over Stoke with a calf problem, while both Hangeland and Berbatov picked up knocks during the 2-1 win.

But manager Martin Jol is expected to choose from a fully fit squad, with keeper Maarten Stekelenburg, Aaron Hughes and Ashkan Dejagah also back in contention.

“Everyone is fine – all the international players came back fit,” Jol confirmed.

“Parker will train tomorrow and hopefully he will be fine. Berbatov and Hughes are back and will train tomorrow too.

“Dejagah is okay. He wasn’t in contention until now but he must be 100% and I have options on the flanks.

“Adel Taarabt came back from Morocco like all the other players and trained too.”

The Whites will face a Palace side who are one off the bottom of the table and have taken only three points from their seven Premier League matches so far this season.
