Player insight

Joe Bryan can’t wait to see fans return in numbers for the visit of Charlton.

“I can’t wait,” he told FFCtv. “It’s been a long time; I know we had them a couple of times last year, but it didn’t feel like full capacity. It’ll be nice to see everyone with a smile on their face with nice weather – we’ll have fun.”

Pre-match quotes

"To have fans back will be a fantastic sensation for all of us. And football will be back again. We had a fantastic feeling in the last European competition with the national team."

Marco Silva

"We go into the Fulham game looking to get more game time into the players and then obviously at the start of the season against Sheffield Wednesday."
