Fulham boss Silva reveals Mitrovic in training return

Fulham boss Marco Silva has revealed Aleksandar Mitrovic has returned to training.

The Serb is pushing Fulham to allow him to join Al-Hilal.

Silva said: “Yes, Mitrovic is back. It is a process and it is not an easy situation. I am not here to talk about the negotiations and clubs that are linked with him. I am here to talk about my players. Yes, he is with the group. Let’s hope we get him as fit as we can in the next few days.

“For me, Mitrovic never was hard to manage. Never, never, never. A lot of people say he has an aura around him but people who know him know he was never a problem or difficult to manage. We have to be honest with him. He was so easy to manage in the beginning of the pre-season and he will be if he stays.

“Mitro knows me, I know him very well. He knows the group we are working with. Everything I said to him and everything he said to me will be between me and him.”
