Tete edging closer to Fulham return

By

Fulham fans should finally get a chance to see Kenny Tete back in action – probably before Christmas.

Right-back Tete is not only in full training but on the comeback trail when he appeared for the Under-23s against Middlesbrough on Friday.


Meanwhile, Terence Kongolo’s training is being “modified” as Scott Parker put it, but the head coach reckons both are on the “right track”.

A series of injuries, starting with a broken foot, has sidelined central defender Kongolo, who is awaiting a second start for Fulham, after a loan spell with Whites last season, while Tete’s torn calf last saw him during the 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa at the end of September.

Parker said: “Kongolo’s training has been modified. We take him in and out (of full training), but Kenny is back, although Liverpool on Sunday is a bit too early. Otherwise, everyone else is good.”

Fulham welcome back 2,000 fans to Craven Cottage for the visit of the champions, with Parker hoping each and every one plays a part in causing an upset.

“This is arguably our toughest game of the year,” he said.

“Our fans have spent a long time not being there when we were making the play-offs and at Wembley.

“Hopefully that 12th man will give us just a little bit more”.
