Fulham boss Scott Parker insists Joe Bryan has Premier League ability.
Parker has urged Fulham's Wembley hero Bryan to seize the chance to reclaim his left-back spot against Manchester United.
He said: “I'm sure it's been very, very difficult for Joe. I know for sure he has the quality and the capabilities of grabbing that opportunity and that's what he needs to do.
“The one thing with Joe is he is an unbelievable professional that comes in every day wanting to get better. He keeps working as hard as he can and gets his opportunity now.
"I am fortunate enough to have two left-backs here who both have brilliant quality. We've all been accustomed to seeing Joe's quality, his technical quality.
"This is the Premier League, bigger squads and competition and you rise to that, Antonee (Robinson) is going to push him on. They've been going toe-to-toe really, Joe has been first class in that but certainly there has never been a conversation with me and Joe regarding leaving."
