Fulham will be hoping that the break from competitive action can be a blessing in disguise for them, as they look to keep the pressure on their promotion rivals. 

Scott Parker's side are currently sat third in the Championship, but have dropped crucial points in recent weeks, which has seen Leeds United pull further clear at the summit.

Due to recent events, there won't be any fixtures taking place across England in the EFL, with a return date of the 30th April put in place.

One player that will be key to Fulham's chances of winning promotion back into the Premier League is Aleksandar Mitrović, who has hit 23 goals in his 34 appearances so far for the Cottagers.

Plenty of pundits have suggested that Mitrović has the quality and attributes to be playing regularly in the top-flight now, although he seems to be content with life at Fulham at this moment in time.

Speaking in an interview with FourFourTwo, Mitrović revealed that he is loving life with Scott Parker's side, and labelled the Championship as a 'hard league'.

"Honestly, I don’t think about that. I’m with Fulham because I love the club, my family is happy here, and I love the challenge of the Championship. Players who haven’t played in it or don’t watch it can say it’s easier, but trust me: it’s a hard league."

Mitrović and his Fulham team-mates will be hoping they can keep the pressure on their promotion rivals when they return to action on the 2nd May against relegation-threatened Wigan Athletic.

The Verdict: 

Fulham fans will absolutely love his latest comments.

Mitrović has shown that he is a class above at this level though in my eyes, and he's more than capable of playing in the Premier League in the near future.

If Fulham weren't to win promotion this season, then I would be surprised if he was to remain with the Cottagers for another season, as you would imagine that bigger clubs will come calling for his services.

It's good to hear that he's loving life at Fulham, but any footballer will surely be wanting to play their football at the highest level possible.
