Scott Parker says Aleksandar Mitrovic's New Year's Eve party with Crystal Palace's Luka Milivojevic is 'not acceptable' as 'disappointed' boss reveals Fulham have dealt with Covid-19 rule-breaking striker internally

Fulham boss Scott Parker has branded Aleksandar Mitrovic's Covid-19 rule breach as 'not acceptable'.

Cottagers striker Mitrovic was one of a number of high-profile players to have broken coronavirus restrictions over the festive period when he was pictured with Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic on New Year's Eve.

The incident was particularly galling for Parker, who himself had to self-isolate over Christmas after a member of his household tested positive, while Fulham's last two matches were postponed due to coronavirus cases among the squad.
