It's a frustrating time to be a football fan in the UK at the moment, with recent off-the-field events calling an abrupt halt to fixtures across the country. 

Fulham will be hoping that they can hit the ground running when fixtures are to return later this year, although no scheduled return date has been confirmed as of yet.

Scott Parker's side are currently sat third in the Championship table, and are six points adrift of the automatic promotion places with nine games remaining in this year's campaign.

The break from competitive action would have come at a frustrating time for Fulham, as they had won their last two matches against play-off chasing Preston North End and Swansea City.

One player that has been key to their impressive season to date is Anthony Knockaert, with the winger hitting four goals and being on hand to provide five assists in his 34 appearances for the Cottagers this term.

Knockaert took to Instagram to reveal that he was missing football, which is a view that plenty of the Craven Cottage faithful are likely to agree with.

This is Fulham's first season back in the Championship after being relegated from the top-flight last season, after having only on-year in the Premier League.

The Verdict: 

I think we all share Knockaert's views here!

The winger has been hugely impressive for Fulham this season, and Scott Parker will be hoping that he's at his best heading into the final nine games of this year's campaign.

The Cottagers look as though they're going to have to make do with a spot in the Championship play-off places, as the top-two are starting to run away with it in the race for promotion.

If he can stay fit, then Fulham will have a real chance of winning promotion back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.
