Magath explains axing Fulham record signing Mitroglou

New Fulham boss Felix Magath has axed record signing Kostas Mitroglou for the derby today against Chelsea.

Magath insists the Greece striker is not fit.

"Kostas is a very dangerous striker, but in this league you have to be fit if you are to be ready to score," Magath said.

"Next weekend (against Cardiff on March 8) I'm convinced that he will be back in the squad."
