Ola Aina could make his first appearance for Fulham in the Carabao Cup game against Ipswich Town tonight.
Aina who joined the club on a season-long loan from Torino was omitted from Fulham’s premier league clash against Arsenal over the weekend.
Fulham Coach Scott Parker however stated that he’s ready to give some of his summers signing chance to impress against lowly rated opponents tonight.
“It’s a competition that we respect. A good cup run, we know that that can build confidence and momentum,” Parker told reporters during a news conference.
“And also, at the same time it helps in terms of getting players minutes and getting players up to speed, those who haven’t been with us too long, or haven’t played a lot of football or trained a lot due the circumstances of having such a short pre-season.
“But as much as we want to get minutes into the boys to get them up to speed, we also want to go and win the game.
We want to stay in the competition and hopefully be successful in it. He said.
