Yahoo News Fulham fixtures: Pre-season tour friendlies, tickets, TV coverage, schedule in full
Fulham are back in the Premier League after a four-year absence and ready to make an impact.
Continual progress under Slavisa Jokanovic over two seasons as seen the club returned to the top flight, and they have wasted no time splashing the cash.
Where are they going?
Fulham head to France for a training camp and play Lyon, where new signing Jean Michael Seri could make his debut. Jokanovic will bring the players back to London next week and the Cottagers then play Sampdoria at Aldershot before a game against Celta Vigo at Craven Cottage in their final pre-season fixture.
Who’s going and who’s not?
Seri and fellow new boy Maxime Le Marchand have already linked up with their new team-mates and Jokanovic has a full squad in France. Kevin McDonald and Tim Ream have travelled, despite minor injuries.
When are the big guns back?
Fulham hope Aleksandar Mitrovic will join up with the squad as soon as they seal a deal worth close to £20million for the Newcastle striker, who was with them on loan last season.
What are the key issues for the manager?
Integrating Seri into the team. A midfield including him, Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon against Crystal Palace on the opening day of the season is an exciting prospect.
