Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri insists Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon both have a place in his plans.
The duo were crucial to Fulham's promotion push last season but their roles have seemed less certain under the charge of the Italian coach.
Ranieri said: "It's very, very important the relationship with old players, young players but old in Fulham.
"It is very, very important. I don't have time to make some experience with a friendly match I have to try to do my best and I know we can press all of the match and then I need to choose when is the right moment to press all together."
