Chris Coleman has warned Zat Knight that he faces a battle to get back into the Fulham side.

The 26-year-old has yet to play in The Premiership this season, with Philippe Christanval, Franck Queudrue, Ian Pearce and Liam Rosenior occupying the defensive places.

Following the 5-1 loss to Manchester United on the opening day of the season Fulham have settled well at the back and only conceded one goal in their last two games.

And Coleman has told Knight that he will have to bide his time before securing a return to the starting XI.

"Zat played a lot last season but we didn't keep enough clean sheets," said Coleman.

"Our defence will stay the same until we have a couple of poor games."
