Felix Magath: 'Kostas Mitroglou could play'

Fulham manager Felix Magath has revealed that big-money January signing striker Kostas Mitroglou has been in training for a week and could make an appearance in the squad for Saturday's trip to Stoke City.

Magath said that Mitroglou joins a nearly fully-fit squad, but there are big doubts over midfielder Steve Sidwell, who has not trained since the 2-2 draw with Hull City last Saturday.

"[Mitroglou] has trained with us all week and he is ready to join us," Magath said in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.

"It seems that the team is quite fit, except Steve Sidwell. There is a question for Saturday but the rest of the team is training and they are fine.

"There is a chance [he will play]. He has not trained until now but maybe he can start today and we have hope that he will join us on Saturday. But at the moment there is a question."

Fulham are currently 19th in the Premier League.
