Fulham boss Jokanovic: Right call to play Sessegnon against Man City

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic says it was the right decision to play Ryan Sessegnon in defeat at Manchester City.

Sessegnon was not entirely successful with two of City's goals in a 3-0 win developing on his side. But Jokanovic had no regrets about the selection.

Jokanovic said, "It's a huge benefit for this kind of player. He has played a hundred games in The Championship and I thought he could have gone to the World Cup. Now it is time to play games in places like this.

"He is not a kid and part of his profession is to win, draw or lose matches. When I analyse the game, I think Ryan played well. He might have been stronger in both sides (attacking and defending), maybe he was a little bit shy.

"But he was satisfied and happy to participate in the game and I think it's very good for his development."
