Decordova-Reid to miss Leeds game

By

Fulham face Leeds United tomorrow night without Bobby Decordova-Reid as well as Tom Cairney.

Decordova-Reid has failed to recover from the knock that ruled the forward out against Manchester City last weekend, and captain Cairney has an ongoing knee problem.


Scott Parker insists this will be a different Fulham, both in personnel and approach, to the one that was beaten 4-3 at Elland Road in September.

Of the back four, only Kenny Tete has a chance of playing, while the head coach is confident the mishaps that saw City gifted three uncharacteristic goals won’t get repeated.

He said: “Those mistakes, it wasn’t about playing out from the back – they were just mistakes.

“One of the goals, the ball hits a backside and rebounds into the path of (Gabriel) Jesus.

“I expect us to play Leeds the way we have in the previous 10-12 games”.
