Fulham boss Meulensteen offers fresh chance to Riise, Taarabt

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen says John Arne Riise and Adel Taarabt have a clean slate with him.

Both players struggled for minutes under former manager Martin Jol.

Meulensteen said: "John Arne has a fantastic career behind him and is a fantastic person. He's very positive and because of the situation he was up for selection and was very important for us.

"We will take it game by game and when we reach a situation when we have to discuss it with the relevant people, we will do - his performances have been very good.

"Adel is a very talented player and so far I have worked with him well. I hope I can help him to fulfil his potential."
