Fulham XI vs Brentford: Confirmed early team news, starting lineup, latest injuries for Championship play-off final

Fulham top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic is fit to face Brentford in tonight's Championship play-off final, manager Scott Parker has confirmed.

The Championship Golden Boot winner, who scored 26 goals across the regular season, was forced to sit out both semi-final legs against Cardiff with a slight hamstring problem.

However, having trained since Wednesday, the Serbian is now ready to start should Parker need him to, with the Cottagers now one step away from an immediate return to the Premier League.

Parker will also be boosted by the availability of Neeskens Kebano, who hobbled off during the second leg against Cardiff.

Harry Arter and Ivan Cavaleiro - both of whom missed the two semi-final games - are also fit.

"He's fit," Parker said when asked about Mitrovic at his pre-match press conference on Monday. "Everyone is fit for tomorrow night."

The Fulham boss now faces a tough call over whether or not to throw Mitrovic straight back into the fold for the Wembley final.

Parker could also turn to Denis Odoi over Cyrus Christie at right-back to shore up the backline in the face of Brentford's feared front three.
