Tottenham Hotspur play host to Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.
Fulham boss Slaviša Jokanović addressed the media today, ahead of his side’s clash with Tottenham at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, and opened up on the defensive crisis currently crippling his back-line, as quoted by Football.London.
The Cottagers were sensational in the Championship last term, arguably playing the best football in the entire division, and they have certainly not rested on their laurels this time around, spending in excess of £100 million on new players this summer.
Saturday’s clash with Spurs will surely be one of the toughest tests that Fulham will face this season, and they will go into the game in the midst of somewhat of a defensive crisis, according to Jokanovic.
The Serbian addressed the media during his press conference today, and divulged the problems he is facing ahead of Saturday’s game against Tottenham, as quoted by Football.London:
“Right now we have problems with centre-backs. Ream didn’t start working this week, Mawson is still waiting too. Odoi is suspended and positive news is Ayite start working this week.”
The west London outfit will surely be up against it for large portions of the game against Spurs at Wembley, and not having a full compliment of defenders to choose form is certainly not the ideal preparation for Jokanovic and his Fulham.
