Steven Sessegnon, the twin brother of Tottenham and Manchester United target Ryan, is in line to play for Fulham against Bristol Rovers tonight.

Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic will rotate his squad for the Carabao Cup tie at Craven Cottage and Steven, who played in the previous round against Wycombe, is likely to feature.

The 17-year-old, who can play in midfield and defence, and Ryan — one of the hottest properties in English football - have come through the Fulham academy together and both signed new contracts in the summer.

Jokanovic said: “I want to use all my squad and in this way some of the young players will be part of this competition.”

Meanwhile, midfielder Ibrahima Cisse is hoping victory tonight can spark Fulham into life in the League, where they are yet to win so far.

“We are working hard in training, working hard each game to improve,” said the 23-year-old Belgian. “Whether it’s in the cup or the League — it’s the same thing, there’s no difference, we always want to win. It will be nice to play at home in front of our fans and look to get the win and look to press on in the competition.”

Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli is fit again following a hamstring problem and could make his first appearance of the season.
